Navigation And Dvd Bypass For Rx330

[drewzer]

I have seen a lot of parking break bypass mods for othger Lexus models, but not for the Rx. I doubt that the bypass modification for one car model will work on another. Does one exist for the Rx330?

Thanks for the info!

This information works for lx470's up to 2002, it is up to you to check if the wiring for your vehicle is the same. you can watch dvd's on the navigation screen with a simple 15 minute fix. pull the wood panel off from the center of the dash. there are two clips towards the outside of the top of the panel and two about 6 inches down on the sides. remove the electric clock connection on the bottom of the panel and set aside. remove the four screws holding the navigation screen. behind the temp up and down button there is a grey connector. locate and cut the violet wire 2" from the unit. shrink wrap or tape off these wires. this elimimate the speed sensor turning off the video. in the same connector, locate and cut the red wire with the white stripe 4-5" from the unit. shrink wrap or tape off the end that goes to the wiring harness. strip the end coming from the unit and ground it to the top left screw holding the unit in the metal frame. this simulates the emergency brake being on. slip everthing back together and only watch videos while moving ONLY IF YOU ARE THE PASSENGER! .

I'm about to get the 2005 RX330. I would love to know if anyone has had success using this procedure on the '05.

Thanks

This would be very helpful!!! This safety feature is very annoying... esp if you have your phone connected to the bluetooth. you can't use the nav for much while driving.

So if anyone knows the how the bypass this it would be very much appreciated
