Actually, the speed sensor too. On 2011 the nav gets wise to the brake signal and speed sensor missing so it goes for the gps signal to turn off the dvd..

i have an 08 that's out of warranty already.

anybody know what wiring changes would have to be made?

though i wouldn't think that it'd be tied to the parking brake. the Nav and DVD functions lock out on motion, not on release of the parking brake.

I believe the PS nav override works on the 2011 as well, covers off all signals needed.

Default Advice with DVD

Hi there,

I have a 2007 LS460 with Nav. Saw your post and was wondering if I could possibly trouble you for an explanation on how to hard wire the parking brake signal to the DVD display so that I can watch DVD's while the car is in motion?

Thanks much,
Chris

Of all the many postings regarding PS override on this forum I don't recall a single issue - just praise for the product and vendor.
