Anyone got the sequence for the Nav 6.1 Override?
I know it has changed from the 4.x/ 5/x sequence.
It would be nice to input destinations while on the go.
Thanks

Arghh!! I got so excited when I saw the title of this thread, finally someone found the override!!!! Until I read it....

The title is misleading, shouldn't there be a question mark at the end?

As far as the question, I haven't heard of any new info. I actually heard a rumor in another thread that said there is no override in 6.1! Pray this isn't true, otherwise your only option is Lockpick.

I gave up a long time ago and bought a Garmin SP 7500. I made a few calls to Lexus to inform them I will not get another Lexus when my lease ends. I have been busy but I and going to have to make time to have my salesman set up a FTF meeting with a Lexus manage and emphasize the fact that there are many unhappy Lexus owners that my not get another Lexus because of this single issue.

I hope it helps but I doubt it.

I sent them a few complaints and explained that it is a safety hazard to not allow me to use the phonebook while driving. I explained that I was being forced to fumble with a small screen on my phone and try to hold it with one hand while using my other hand to look through the phonebook and taking my eyes off the road to focus on the tiny screen made it very dangerous. If they would simply let me scroll through the phonebook on the NAV screen it would be much safer.

Their response was some like "thank you for your input"

I am selling my RX. I'm not threatening to sell; I AM selling. I've already found a buyer.

Sir Topas! Same here....I was so excited and thought..."Finally, Finally, someone did figure out how to do it"...

There is a fairly simple process for creating a hybrid DVD for your nav system documented in another forum. Newer HP laptops that have double layer DVDs already have the software installed to copy the discs.

. . . and I've found that "Dial by Number" works very well from the voice recognition system. You just enter the whole number in one go
"4 1 2 7 3 6 3 4 5 6" press talk again and say "dial". Documentation on this is pretty scarce in the Nav Manual.

Dial by name is even better--dont have to remember numbers

Do you know where to find these other forums? I can't stand the idiocy of not allowing even the passenger to program on the go!!
Thanks!
Another thing in want to know - if Lexus is worried legally about us having an accident while programming on the go, they apparently have the feeling that they will have some level of liability if we have an accident. Therefore, should they be worried if we have an accident while changing the radio? If they have liability for one, why not the other?

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=251179 is a thread in the 2IS forum on this topic.

Be aware that this can be a risky process and a few non-technical members have had problems. You need to be the legal owner of both 5.1 and 6.1 disks - we don't allow any discussions about pirating nav software on CL.

I wouldn't be too quick to sell. The practice is becoming popular among most manufactures on factory installed NAV systems these days. I agree however that if the vehicle can sense the presence of a passenger for airbag deployment it should then at least allow searching on-the-go under those conditions. I decided against the RX NAV for just this reason and saved myself $6K as a benefit as I didn't really want anything else in the Premium Plus pkg. My Garmin NUVI 660 is an excellent unit with 3D map views and Bluetooth built in.

As soon as I purchased my RX350 about 2 weeks ago, I installed the Lockpick3 kit from coastaltech. It took me 15 minutes to install,very easy! Now, I can enter destination while moving and the 'i agree" button screen automatically eliminated eveytime I start the car. You all should give this a try before selling the RX.

Depending on what kind of 'hack' you want, there are 3 kits provided: basic, ultimate and ultimate plus.
I bought the basic and it works for Lexus nav 6.1 nicely.

More success stories can be found under this thread: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums...howtopic=39896

Does it free up the bluetooth options??

SugarRush

Booyah, to do this you'll need to buy the ultimate lockpick3 plus kit for $299.

The basic lockpick3 for $99 (the one I installed in my RX) does *not* free up the bluetooth, it only allows entering dest when moving and auto bypass the 'i agree' screen.

Read thru' the link I posted earlier from another Lexus RX forum. Someone did installed the ultimate plus lockpick3 and on top of what the basic kit will do, it will also unlocked bluetooth and watching dvd capability while driving

Booyah

I was told by those guys I can only use the lockpick3 basic because I have the rear DVD?
