es330drf Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 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 http://hybridcars.about.com/od/ownership/ss/navigation.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
es330drf Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidianr Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasadler Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 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. Has anyone tried the process on the following link to override the nav system to allow you to enter destinations while driving.

zube Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 It works on all new Lexus vehicles with nav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTacoma Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 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.
