Pushing the pins back is very simple. They just snaps back in place. The cleaner way to do the install with the no cutting of wires would be to

1. Remove the three terminals from the connectors.
2. Buy a repair terminal/wire (82998-12750) from dealer ($13) for the yellow wire
3. Snap the repair terminal/wire into the connector and place a lug on the other and hook it to ground.
4. Tape back the original yellow wire to the harness.
5. Connect the other two female wire terminals together using a small male terminal or wire, a small amount of solder on them, or some other secure connection.
6. Place electrical tape around the two connected terminals to protect them.

With this method or something like it, no wires are cut and you can return the car back to stock condition in a few minutes by just snapping the pins back into the connectors.

 

The part number of K46 is 90980-12203 and H1 is 90980-12153. The mate for K46 is 90980-12202 and the H1 mate is 90980-12152. K46 and H1 can be ordered at any Toyota dealer. I do not think the mates to both of them are available but you can check.

 

I know the software hack to use the navigation while the car is in motion, but is there a hardware hack?

 

Would you like to share the software hack with us?

Shoot me an email If you live within the San Diego, California area and want to enable your DVD system and not void your warranty by cutting wires. My buddy and myself both have kits made up to do it without clipping anything. rickatencio@yahoo.com

 

i checked those part #s on www.1sttoyotaparts.com and none of them worked. by anychance do any of you guys know a dealership, toyota or lexus, online will have these part#s working that i can order? i need them to redo my cousins dvd mod. thanks.
what do you mean by mate? is that the pins, or a female plug for hte k46 and h1 plug?

i did the mod like you stated above that post i quoted, except grounded the wrong side. ahha

 

I just performed the nav/bluetooth hack on my GS! Its working great! Dvd's play while vehicle is in motion and bluetooth still dials out. Fairly simple to do. Great instructions. Thanks

 

Was this a software hack like the nav hack or a hardware installation?

 

Im still looking for someone in New York to be able to do this for me...Im not a handy person and I dont have the time...Definately will shell out some cash for this...any takers

 

Just read the instructions that ScaryH22 posted, it word perfectly. Very easy as well. There also is a link somewhere in this thread that will show you how to disassemble the nav unit. I would perform this for you if you were in Florida....LOL

 

any progress with disabling this "safety feature"?

 

is this the exact same procedure if you have a non-Nav GS300, I just want to enable bluetooth on my non-nav vehicle...Thanks in advance

 

There was a company, Coastal Tech, that I recall many CL members had orders placed for a wiring harness that worked around the DVD and the "I agree" screen.

Has anyone actually received their order yet? Seems like orders were placed, but delivery times were months away...

 

Several members have confirmed that they received the unit and it indeed works. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find it.

 

Anyone know the answer ??
