Navigation Override

Navigation Override
One of the most useful posts on this forum was the sequence that brings up a hidden menu that can override the navigation lockouts. This allows POI's to be accessed by the passenger while the car is in motion. However, I have been unable to locate that information in the threads. I thought it would be useful to have a thread that would allow newcomers to access the information. Please provide the link to the previous post or provide the information again.
Many thanks !!!

Press the menu button.
Press the volume icon.
Press the upper left corner of the screen (no icon there).
Press the lower left corner of the screen (no icon here, either).
Repeat the last two screen presses.
In the "secret" menu screen that appears, select Over Ride.
This will disable the navigation lockouts until you turn the car off.

I tired this while rolling in traffic at about 15 mph and it locked me out of all NAV systems. Climate and audio still worked. Had to turn the car off to reset. So, I suggest only doing this while car is stopped.

This should not have happened. My unit continues to opperate normally after performing this function except you now input addresses, etc. while the vehicle is in motion. The reason for the override in this specific hack is so that you don't have to opperate it only while stopped. What you really suggest is not doing the override at all.

No, what I meant is that if you perform the override per the directions above while the car is moving, the lock out of all NAV and voice functions occur. If you do it while you are parked, the override works and all functions are available.
So, what I am trying to say is that if you do the HACK, do it while parked...not moving.

Nav override not working for me
I have tried this several times with my new ES350 (UL, Mark Levinson, all the bells and whistles) and nothing happens after I do the "Menu-Volume-UpperLeft-LowerLeft-UpperLeft-LowerLeft" sequence. No screen appears with the override button.
Is there something different between the various nav systems (UL Mark Levinson versus standard)??
I have tried it in all power modes (engine off, engine on, accessories on) and in park and while in gear (stopped and moving).

The limiting factor is the version of the NAV system firmware. Apparently the firmware was updated such that the more recent builds of the car have the version 6 as opposed to the version 5. (This is not the NAV generation version.) This workaround doesn't work on the systems running on the version 6 firmware.
I've seen this issue covered elsewhere on these forums (sorry I don't have time now to search for it) and a user who's technically savvy has been experimenting with using the updated NAV disc data that came on the disc with the updated firmware with the version 5 firmware to see if there are any functionality issues.

Version 6.1 has shipped and the nav software hack doesn't work with it
