Es 330 Navigation Override

[es330drf]

Has anyone tried the process on the following link to override the nav system to allow you to enter destinations while driving. I have read about kits you can buy, but this seems like a simple process for free. It's written for a Toyota Prius, but all of the above steps work on my 2005 ES 330. I just didn't do the last step, but go all the way there.

Thanks

OK, I got impatient and decided to try it myself. IT WORKS! This is not a permanent fix - you will have to do it each time you start the car. You can also do it while you're moving, so you could wait to do it until you need to enter a destination or POI. It's not perfect, but its free and doesn't involve messing with you're wiring.

Give it a try!

I saw this on the RX forum a little while back and it works for me as well. I don't mind that it has to be done every time. Now I don't have to pull over to have a passenger enter a new destination.

Thanks you - this is great! I use it on my 2005 RX-330. Now... who has a similar hack for the phone system? I would love to be able to dial without using the handset OR stopping.

It works on all new Lexus vehicles with nav.

the navi override does not affect the phone system. You have to physically remove a wire from behind the system to remove the phone block out. Search the forums for the detailed instructions.
