Navigation Hack Alternative - Hybrid Nav DVD
#241
There is no need for the override (given that I have the wire hack as well)
At this point for me it is more of a challenge to see if I can make it work with the 5.1, but it really isnt necessary!

To be honest, the new software works so much better than the 5.1 I almost don't need the override. When I issue the address command with voice it works a thousand times better. I talk normal, not repeats and best of all I do not need to wait for the prompts, as soon as you hear the beep you can start talking.....So I can issue an address with voice now in 15secs tops!

Car: 2006 IS350
Disk: Hybrid 5.1/8.1
I need help as well guys. Tried making a hybrid 5.1 disk and put it in. The screen went black and keeps flashing between blank screen and a screen with lines. As someone else mentioned, only the left buttons along the nav screen now. The Map/Dest/Menu on the right are completely non-responsive now.
I tried pressing the upper right/lower right back and forth as well as upper left/lower left, heck, i even tried the upper right/lower left over and over, and upper left/lower right as well but the disk will not eject.
Is there any other solution besides taking the car to the dealership? I really do not want to have to pay $100 to eject a disk!

Thanks...I actually JUST got it out. I got to thinking about how my macbook pro is similar style loading. And there was instructions on getting a stuck CD out of the macbooks. You basically have to pin the cd (i used a credit card) so that it stops spinning. Once the cd stopped spinning in the dvd drive, the menu button worked. At that point I was able to press DVD menu on the screen and the select eject.
So just an FYI for those who get stuck at a point where the DVD drive is reading and the menu won't work (or the top left/lower left method). This will work as well. You just have to get the drive to stop trying to read the DVD by pinning it down. Once the cd stops spinning, the menu functions come back.

yeah I have done it and no problems. I also used Memorex DVD+R DL disc and it works fine but since combfilter said his disc screwed up later I plan to reburn it onto Verbatim DVD+R DL (preferably the ones made in singapore which are rated as the best)

Hi! I answered my own question by just trying it. IF noone's done it yet then yes it works. I don't know the gen of my nav unit but I have an 07 IS 350. I have compiled a hybrid v8.1 with the v5.1 loading.kwi file and the override works perfectly.
So if anyone is gonna do the v8.1 with the v5.1 file swap it works!
