05silverls430 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I recently purchased my first Lexus, an '03 LS430 with nav. One feature that I'm not particularly thrilled with is the inability to operate most of the menu and programming features of the navigation system when the car is moving, even with the passenger seat occupied. My previous car was an '04 Acura TL, and I could enter destinations into the sytem with no prolem while the car was moving. I understand that this is a safety issue, however there has to be some way to disable it. Any suggestions or ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give that a try. Surely there has to be a way to permanently disable it, though. But, maybe not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, maybe not.... check ebay motors, i saw a few bypass gadgets for lexus dvd navigation. those things also allow you to control dvd movies on your nav system. by the way doesn't your nav allow you to prog or input commands by voice while driving? i'm sure you've watched the dvd video that come with the car for nav use training.

Actually, I bought it CPO, so no DVD. You're right about the voice recognition. I hadn't thought about that. I tried Zube's method of going into the nav set-up screen and that works great. Only problem is that I have to do it every time I start the car. I got one of the Vais Technologies modules installed last week (for XM), but it's not one that allows you to watch DVDs on the system. I'll check eBay as well. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
