I was wondering if a wire coming into the Nav unit tells it to reboot when we turn the car ignition on. Maybe we could fool the Nav unit into thinking the ignitions always on....thereby you'd only have to press the I Agree button once, unless you disconnected the battery.

Any ideas??
thanks.

Let me see what I can find out. I'll keep you posted. Otherwise, can you verify that everything else works as described?
Yes, everything else works as described. DVD will play while in motion (no problems with brake light or any other side effect) and phone #'s can be entered and phone book accessed via phone interface while in motion too.

All works but the Nav input while in motion, this does not work for me. Works when doing the mod as I posted a few post ago.
ScareyH22A, this is a very nice mod with no switches. It was very kind of you to post your work for free when some are charging at Ebay.
You Da Man!!!

I mention this as a possibility since evidently someone has re-engineered the Nav harness to bypass the I Agree Screen in the Prius. It may not be a matter of constantly keeping Nav unit on but interrupting a reset signal triggered by the ignition switch from coming in .

Ok. I received preliminary confirmation that my original synopsis is wrong about being able to input commands into the navigation system while the vehicle is in motion.
I will be editing that post accordingly. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
I will work on a solution asap. For now, the procedure will be described as "only for accessing DVD's and Bluetooth while in motion."
You can still bypass the navigation safety feature temporarily by getting into the Service Menu as decribed by E55_POWER.
Command Input Into Navi While In Motion
This must be done everytime the vehicle is started.

OK, I had Steve perform the mod. I can report that it works perfectly. I can operate all phone functions and the DVD will play while moving (if my passenger desires).
Steve's guys performed the mod in less than an hour while I grubbed at the Subway down the street. The fee was a mere $150- totally worth it! All you SoCal 3GS'ers, give Steve a call!

Greetings fellow members......I just picked up my new GS 430 couple of weeks ago!
I have done the override and it works great! The park brake light works like normal. DVD viewing by the passengers is possible and bluetooth system works. While dvd is in play and one moves to reverse, the rear camera kicks in. Any other questions I would be glad to answer.
I was just wondering those that were still interested in inputing the NAV by the passenger while the car is in motion. Could one install the switch between the VSS purple wire to the NAV system pink and do what they need to do and flip it back?
Thank you guys very much. I just got "approval" status to the forum this is a great club!
I live in the Atlanta area. Would like to meet with fellow GS member of this forum and share some knowledge.
ScareyH22A you are the man!
