I have 2 phone chargers there too and it still fits nicely.

Also, why did they mount it sideways? I see they also did my hack of routing the cable out the back.

Those blanks could have easily been removed and mounted vertically. In fact, they could have removed the circuit board inside and flush mounted the unit behind the switch.

Not sure why you would sacrifice both blanks just for one switch....im curious....

How would you "remove the circuit board in side and flush mount the unit"

I can get them to do that. You saying just have the two buttons on there and on one blank? I dont know.

I like better where I have it than where you have it. I couldnt reach it where you have it my hands are too big. To each his own. Thanks for the heads up on the unit.

But I am interested in what you are saying about flush mounting it cause I would like to either do that or have that done.

Wow thank you sooooo much JB! They should have given the unit to you for free. I am calling them in 5mins to order mine. Not having the nav work or the movie screen while driving is annoying. The movie screen would not be used much unless my wife was in the car with the kids. Very dangerous for the driver.

I just bought it online. I can't to have it installed. Is there a step by step video on you tube. That would be awesome.

Both switches are just momentary switches. Not sure I could give easy directions, but anyone very proficient with electronics and circuits could do it. It would be a custom one-off project, do doubt.

Had mine installed this week. Its like having a new nav and tv!

Mtnbike · 09-05-09, 10:27 AM

I wonder if toyota would install them? That way if they mess it up it would be covered.

Yeah right! I wouldn't even ask....

dnh1 · 09-06-09, 05:47 PM

Toyota is not going to install it. They claimed it was "illegal" to disengage the seat belt warning which is absoutely false and ridiculous.

dtt255 · 09-07-09, 10:43 AM

Here are a few pics of my install. I was bored this morning so I decided to do it.

I am having a new rear and front cameras installed in a week, so I was going to have them do it, but figured what the hell.

Here is where my button in temporarily:

And proof it works:
(NOTICE: out of all the pics showing the speedometer, mine is the fastest!! Plus showing the Xmen Cartoon.....AWESOME!)

Gosh that GPS plus is a pain in the arse!

Kudos to whoever took those pics, they did a great job! Too bad they are a mystery!

dnh1 · 09-09-09, 07:21 PM

Respectfully, my pic is showing faster!

Mtnbike · 09-09-09, 08:04 PM

I am getting it installed tomorrow. I will take a pic. at 65 mph and quiet you both.

JBHorne · 09-09-09, 08:41 PM

I have a pic at 135 that I posted in another thread, but deleted it. This was before the nav override install, however.

dtt255 · 09-10-09, 12:33 PM

Ok, contest over...I don't want anyone getting killed over this.

I will stick with my awards for:

First 200 series sold in California
First 200 series on 1h8ud.com
First 200 series in 4wd Toyota Owner Driver Magazine
First ARB front bumper installed in the USA
First Lightforce HID lights up in the USA
First RASTA Skid Plates installed in the the USA
First ARB Rear Locker installed in the USA

ummmm anything else? Cannot remember....oh well.

and my wife calls me vain....HA!

Mtnbike · 09-10-09, 11:17 PM

Can't compete with that dtt255.

JBHorne · 09-11-09, 09:06 AM

Mitch, can you please sticky this thread?

And change the title to "NAVIGATION/DVD OVERRIDE WORKS!"

Thanks

dtt255 · 09-11-09, 09:12 AM

Done...Changed

Talked to them today and the bad news is that the NAV changed for 2010 and they are having to redesign for the 2010 model, said they would let me know when and if they come up with a fix.

Really? This is the first I'm hearing of a new nav unit. I wonder what's new about it! Probably similar to the Lexus model with built-in hard drive and that Toyota "on star" system.

Just found this forum today and have already placed my ortder today for the Nav Override. Thanks to you guys for putting this up!

Kaizer Sozay 13 · 09-21-09, 03:59 PM

Guys, Thanks for this find. Got mine installed today and works great. Local Shop only charged me $35.00 to put it in b/c they thought it was such a cool mod.
