The switch I used, which looks great in one of the empty spots on the dash is the Scion OEM Style GSW-45 Rocker Switch (On/Off Style) for $7.99 from http://www.oznium.com. The switch was on my doorstep 4 days after I ordered it online and with about two minutes of filling on the dash opening, it fits really well and looks OEM.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread.... but I am confused about this Hack.
So the original hack =
Pink wire from loom connected to white wire from loom.
white and pink wire on Nav = Cut
With this hack and switch closed =
Pink wire from loom connected to white wire from loom.
white and pink wire on Nav = Cut
With this hack and switch open =
white and pink wire = Completely cut
How do any of these situations keep the nav functioning normal?

Thanks for this thread. I just got my new 2008 IS 350 a couple weeks ago and want to do 1) the Navi Hack, 2) This Navi Hack pt. 2 (w/ switch), and 3) the SoundLinQ2 (SL2Vi) - iPod Video Interface Adapter) install (My SL2Vi just arrived two days ago).
TrymyIS had suggested this thread for info and also said that there are some great pics on how to disassemble your dash on this DYI posted here:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...en-moving.html
I just wanted to summarize teh equipment I need though for this specific navi switch hack (I'll figure out the Navi Hack 1 & SL2Vi info in other threads). I know I need 2 long pieces of wire:
And the switch:
jg71q elaborated a bit more on this switch here:
It's $9.99 for the On/Off one which isn't too big a deal.
anything else? certain tools, etc.? anything else from oznium I should consider before ordering the switch only.

...The Toyota switch I used (http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/4Runner/tech/switch/) is NOT an exact fit in the slot where the blank used to be... The inner opening of the dash is not big enough as there are two small plastic bars on either side... So, I took out a handy file and filed them down smooth... The Toyota switch was then a perfect fit, and the blank was also still able to fit in there perfectly (if you ever wanted to return it to look like stock)...
It takes some skill and patience to file down the opening perfectly, but it's not that difficult...
UPDATE: This switch - http://www.oznium.com/gsw-45 Appears to be a perfect fit, but no one has tried it yet... Either way, it doesn't have any markings (which I like better), so if anyone wants to do this hack, I'd recommend this switch...

Planning on following the instructions on this thread to do the Navigation Hack Part two, the Navigation Hack part 1, and the install of my SoundLinQ2 (SL2Vi) - iPod Video Interface Adapter (still looking for a good link for that install) all in one shot.
