0260n5.7

Now that I've done it and know how hard it is to explain it, if any of you want, I'd be glad to to take it apart again (that is how easy it is after you've done it once) and post more detailed photos, especially of the plug and wires (sorry i was focused so much on getting it done), and post them. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Another note: For those that really want to, you could install a rocker switch to switch back and fourth from OEM function and override function.

I do not feel the need to switch back and fourth so I didn't install a switch.

I looked at the full diagram which includes NAV and my UNEXPERT - NOVICE opinion is that this mod will not affect the NAV display on the screen. I am assuming the NAV is just like any other separate input into the screen (like the climate, tuner, cameras, etc.) and will act upon demand when depressing the NAV button.

GOOD LUCK...

I could never do this to my baby! LOL!

I would like to know the secret to making changes to the NAV system while driving. I knew how to with a certain push of buttons on my LX470 but I guess no one know how to on the 570?

LOL That's what I said on all my Lexi. I took the LX out tonight and inadvertently stumbled on the fact that this mod also lets my passenger (wife) who's phone is paired with the LX type a phone number on the screen while driving. I wouldn't be surprised if it allows you to make changes to the NAV while driving but obviously I can't comment on the NAV function. So far so good on the mod for all the functions. I did notice tonight that I had to set the clock, I wondered why, until i remembered that I unplugged the power switch to look at all the plugs on the back of the screen.

Glad all is working and the results wre as expected!

Thanks all.

On another ntoe, beware that the LX lowers signifcantly! I reversed into a parking stall the other night and the car auto lowered after shutting the vehicle off. When leaving the parking stall after the event, I heard the mud flaps on the rear scraping the parking stall concrete stop. I didn't think it was that low. Oh well, glad it was only the plastic mud flap.

0260N5.7,

great work. I'm thinking about following your step too, but here is my question. If you cut off the purple wire, the speed sensor will not work, so will the front and rear camera work normal such as driving greater than 7 mph it will shut off or not?Thanks

I found this out about a week after I picked mine up and went leaving an event, pulled off the grass over a curb only to hear the mud flap gently scrape. I realized that the vehicle was still in the lowered parked stance. Everyone needs to remember to manually raise the vehicle when first leaving out under these conditions.

I Just Did It Today It Only Took Me About 20 Minutes With Your Instruction And The Picture I Did Help A Lot I Recomend It It Work 100% Thanks

With this mod, if you have the front and side cameras set to AUTO, the cameras will come on under seven? MPH and shut off over 7MPH. Whatever source you were looking at before the cameras came on under 7MPH will come on once you reach 7MPH or greater. The mod essentially lets you control what you display on the screen when you are moving greater than 7MPH and the auto camera function still works. HTH.

MIKISAN - You must be very technically proficient good to hear that it worked for you. Do you have NAV? If so, can you give the LX owners a review of how the NAV works with this mod? As mentioned before, I do not have NAV on my LX. It isn't an option on Guam.

I tried this with my LX570 w/Nav. The dvd movie plays. now the gps map is slightly jumpy. phone and addresses still inaccessable wjile driving, but they worked 1st drive after modification, then reverted back.

radjay

anyone know how to do this with lx570 w/nav?

0260n5.7

radjay,

I find it strange that everything worked the first drive and "then reverted back" after. Here are some ?s to help diagnose:
1. Does the DVD still play while moving while everything else reverted back?
2. Did you ground it properly
(the ground may have come loose or not grounded well?)
