Navigation Hack DIY Part One - Enable DVD, Phonebook & MP3 Folder While Moving
#423
Well, it was my fault, the directions were fine. The horizontal "slits" in each side come to a point, where there is a vertical piece of plastic which holds them togther and somehow connects to the dial to aim the outgoing air. That vertical piece has come undone on both sides and I can't tell how to get them back on correctly to attach to the dial. Thanks for any advice.

Don't sweat it, you can reassemble them, it will just take some patience

To clear up ANY confusion, I did the full nav hack described on the first page of this post on my 2007 IS350.
Everything works perfectly... There are NO changes from 2006 to 2007 with the wiring or hack...
See my webpage in my sig for pics and stuff...

I want to know what happens when you have a problem with the Navi or the CD player or the Radio, and the Lexus tech has to pull it out and sees the wires you cut, I think you will be screwed then. I don't see it as worth taking the chance. That would be a really expensive mistake, if the unit fails

07 Mod prob
As you may recall I had posted that after receiving my '07 IS that I had felt there were some wiring changes. As later posted, I was incorrect. To make a long story short I have been driving around thinking all was well with my mod. I was able to access the folders on my iPod while driving and the nav screen was working, although I now know what the "jumpiness" means. Then I actually tried to use the nav to travel somewhere I was unfamiliar. It did not work. Yes, it calculated the route but there was NO voice guidance.
Today I decided to recreate the modification following the instructions exactly. I first put everything back as OEM. All worked well and as according to the manual.
Then I recut the white with silver dots and the pink wires. I connected the wireloom sides and capped the head unit side on both. I went for a drive and three things happened.
1. Jumpiness returned to display
2. No ability to access folders etc while driving
3. No voice guidance
I can recut the pink wire and leave the white one connected and get folder access again, but the other problems persist.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Otherwise I guess it is back to OEM.
Thanks

It is the white/silver dot wire below. It looked like it goes up to the other connector. I will take another look at that. That does make the most sense. I have checked my connections many times to be sure they are stable.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Here was the problem;
The white with silver dot wire coming out of P1 was cut correctly. I had connected at the end going into the plug below J50 on the head unit side. I should have used the cut side coming out of P1 and connected to the loom side of Pink wire from J50.
All is now well with the modification
Now to go back and dig out the post on entering a destination while driving.

If you want to install a switch that allows destination while moving, you'll basically install a switch in between the silver and pink wire you just successfully connected... I posted a separate thread on it here, plus it's on my website... Keep us posted as to what you end up doing... And again, congrats on getting the hack 100% working!
