NAV Hack Side Effect?
#16
so if i print out those directions and give them to an audio shop, they should have NO PROBLEM doing this mod? I have a friend that works there and is gonna do it for me, that is the only reason im not doing it myself. He has all the tools and is hardwiring my V1 as well.

so i'm getting it both ways. this morning, i plot the course to work and "the guidance will begin..." but that was it; i never got any audible turn commands and it never told me i had arrived. when i got to my parking garage (which has no gps signal), the nav got lost and dead reckoning did not take over. now i go home for lunch, plot a course home, and i get all the audible turn commands and "you have arrived...."
have to do some experimenting to figure out why but if you're like me and don't plot courses all the time, it is very possible this could be happening to you to and you don't notice it. i just want to find out exactly why and how under the circumstances but movies+ is way better than the occasional nav route....

I have read most of the posts here.
Let me tell you exactly what we have done by doing the nav hack. All we have done is bypassed the speed signal to the multi-display, the component that handles climate control, audio etc. In no way did we affect the functionality of the NAV component, because the speed signal is now going directly from the wheels (essentially) to the NAV unit itself, so it sees NO change. All of my voice commands work fine, (when i have it turned on) If you read all the disclaimers it says that the accuracy etc is proximal. I definetly have encountered many errors on the mapping system ( I live in Los Angeles) I feel that we all are simply encountering these mapping errors.

i'm wondering if sa has been turned back on and gps is acting up a bit.
anyway so when i went back to work today, my nav worked fine...including inside the parking garage with no/low gps signal.

edit: i think i have a jumpy nav, i'll go back and check in that other big thread to see what was done about it....and i guess the next time i have to "go in" i'll try to correct it.

After the Nav Hack, my nav has little red dots on the road like route record marking and I don't know how to get rid of it.
It's like I've been doing route recordings.
I'm wondering if anyone has same problems.

(I had to sign in to the Lexus site to see the Nav manual to find this.)
