Navigation Override

CTapia · 12-05-05, 01:08 PM

I found on this on another forum and thought I share the info here. I read that it applies to 04-06 Nav systems, but I can only confirm that it worked on my 04.

Anyhow, this fix/override allows a destination to be entered while in motion. This great for having your passenger enter the destination while on the go.
The only downside is that system defaults back to normal mode once you cycle the ignition. You can enable this at anytime while on the go. As always be safe.

Steps:

1. Press Menu button.
2. On the screen that appears, there is a volume button--press it.
3. On this screen, there are no buttons at the top left corner and bottom left corner, but press in this order; Top, bottom, top and bottom (Upper left and lower left) .
4. A new screen will appear with multiple buttons. Press and hold the one titled "override"--it will change colors and BEEP.
5. Push the "Back" button to exit and you're good to go.

You will notice notice other functions in this hidden menu, but I have not messed with them.

E9999,

Sorry, no one at a time. Hit the top left then the bottom left, top left again and then bottom left again.

Bwbski26,

bwbski26 · 12-05-05, 04:42 PM

bwbski26,

The topic came up on a thread here:

http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums...6&t=24807&st=0

Scroll towards the bottom. I went ahead an edited my last post asking if he knew how to enable this on an 03.

bwbski26 · 12-05-05, 04:47 PM

thanks. i hope it does work. would be great for the passanger to update info while on a road trip.

Yes, drivers side.

I tried it out on my 1994 LC and it worked fine. You have to hold done the "override" button for a few seconds to make it work. Another cool button is the "gps" button. It shows the real time GPS coordinates. This cool for offroading (were the nav maps don't have nay info) and you can see you position compared to off-road maps.

craigw · 09-25-06, 08:57 AM

Did you ever find out if it will work in the 03s

Steph23 · 09-25-06, 09:11 AM

It works on my '03. I use it all the time.

Albi · 09-25-06, 01:34 PM

I can't get it to work on my '03

bwbski26 · 09-25-06, 03:11 PM

i cant get it to work on my 03 either.

Steph23 · 09-25-06, 04:23 PM

I think it's different for us with the '03s. Go to menu, instead of volume, press the DVD button (on screen) in the top right hand corner. This will show you a version screen. Then you proceed with the top left, bottom left, top left, bottom left, & bottom right (with a full fingerprint). When the blue screen comes up, press override until it lights up (about 3 seconds). Then hit back and your done. Give it a try and let me know.

bwbski26 · 09-25-06, 08:09 PM

wow, i got it to work with the new instructions, thanks so much.

Albi · 09-25-06, 08:42 PM

Hey, thanks so much. The new instructions did it.

ndcruiser · 09-26-06, 07:26 PM

Works on 06

Jim_Chow · 09-29-06, 10:03 PM

Tried it on my '03...it works! Now what do all those other options on the blue screen do?

LXPearl · 10-01-06, 10:42 PM

2001 LX470 NAV Override
I found how to override the 2001 NAV based on Steph23's instructions - though it is a bit different than the 03:

1. Press MENU then select SYSTEM OPTION
2. Perform the 5 point hidden button routine: Top Left, Bottom Left, TL, BL, BR.
3. The Debug Diag screen displays with blue buttons
4. Press OVERRIDE DRIVE button (it turns from blue to green)
5. Press BACK (upper right)
6. Override is effective until ignition is turned off.

I haven't had a chance to play with the other buttons yet.

wrxboy76 · 10-16-06, 05:26 AM

The same sequence that worked for LXPearl worked on my '02! In addition to allowing destination input on the move, the override allows you to play DVDs while driving.

Brit · 10-16-06, 04:26 PM

I wonder what is different on my '02. I did it and the destination input override worked but I still can't see DVDs in motion. Am I supposed to load the DVD in the same player as CDs...or is there somewhere else?

I'm going on a 3K mile vacation on Wednesday and this would be very helpful

e9999 · 10-16-06, 04:43 PM

that is terrific info!

in the FAQ it goes...!

LXPearl · 10-16-06, 05:35 PM

I did not get my DVD to work either - though I tried only once. I still had to raise the parking brake in order to get the DVD to play while stopped.

aedgington · 10-16-06, 06:56 PM

You've got to ground the brake wire & snip the VSS to get DVD in motion.

VSS? I don't speak acronym...I'm not the corporate or military type

Sounds like it might be easier to just have a DVD player installed.
