Unlock Navigation Etc

[mjmo]

Navguy,

I was interested in buying a navigation lockpick, so we can program our navigation while in motion.

Is there a company that you know of that can do this? Is it difficult to install? Are they any good?

Thanks for whatever info you folks have.

mjmo,

There are a few black boxes coming out of Japan that override the Lexus navigations. There are also some that allow for external video inputs etc…

I have acquired the override controller from the company below for my IS250. I could not purchase it directly but I have a buddy in Japan that picked it up for me.

There are some other ones but I don’t know if they are good or bad. The R-Spec model can be purchased via a group buy from ClubLexus.com. There are some good write-ups about successful installation so I am going to give this one a try. Prestigioussociety.com is facilitating the group buy etc….

I might even document the install and add it to this forum but I have not received the unit yet and don’t know when I will get around to installing it.

I guess I should also mention that you can hack the navigation but cutting some wires in the back of the radio etc... but it sounds like you are looking for a plug in solution. Again there are man messages about how to do this too.

Rule Number 1 - Be Safe
