Every time you start the car. Also, it won't work if you have an '07 or if you have an updated disc in your '06.

ok quick question... I have the ML nav... did everything exactly as shown. I can now watch DVD's while driving, but when I go to input a destination address while driving everything fades gray and won't let me input anything. this happened to anyone else???? Weird the DVD works while in motion but no address input... HELP!!!

I tried a the Matrix Triology (made in USA) and that worked too.
I put the vents back on and tried...it stopped working.
I dont specificially think its the vents, but I'm wondering whats wrong.
Any ideas?

Umm, I didn't see anything in the wiring that indicates that this would unlock the DVD region code! I think the Chinese DVD's you tested are region free :-\
Most of my DVD's are region1 (from Amazon) and my car's player is region2 :-(
Can someone test this and reply back, please?

Hello guys
I'm really looking for a help

I have done this "mod"
For now there is a big problem for me
When headlight is in "auto" mode - every time when I'm switching off the engine - headlights and backlights are staying "on" )

This is really a problem for me
Even after returning everything back - the problem is not gone
I have checked every connector in the dash many times - nothing help.

Please, may be someone give me an advise? It is very costly to go to the official service centre in UK

After switching off the engine the lights usually stay on for 30 seconds. This option is normal but can be turned off. The navi mod itself should not affect the lights; especially since you put everything back together.

[QUOTE=Payam;1650425]To enter addresses while driving, you don't have to cut or splice any wires. You can select the overide button by going into the volume menu then:
touching the top left corner
bottom left corner
top left corner
bottom left corner

then hold the override button for 5 seconds.

The reason for the wore cutting is so that you can use all of the other functions of the nav system while you are moving. For example: dial a phone number, look at folders or song titles on your cd's and stuff like that.[/QUOTE

Im having a problem with this trick. I have a 2007 IS250 and I tried the top left, etc from the volume screen and nothing happens. Am I missing something?

It doesn't work with the V6.1 (2007) DVD Nav disc.
