IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

Ultimately, my implementation of this hack was a mix of the information from both articles. I can now do the following:

- watch DVDs while driving

- use full audio controls while driving

- use full telephone functionality while driving

- engage additional switch to temporarily disconnect vehicle speed sensor (VSS) from nav unit

Note that the last point is only partially effective, as the nav unit still receives GPS co-ordinates regardless. If I am driving at around 50kph or slower, I can generally interact with the nav unit. Additionally, while the switch disconnects the VSS, the car's plotted location can become quite jumpy, as the nav unit is entirely relying on GPS co-ordinates. When re-enabling the VSS (ie: disengaging the switch) it can take up to 30 seconds for the nav unit to re-plot my location accurately.

Finally, when connecting the wiring as documented, consider using additional lengths of wire with opposing bullet joiners, mixed correctly (female vs male) so that you can easily remove the additional lengths and rejoin the original wires together with very little fuss.

WARNINGS/CAVEATS

- be careful in particular with the removal of the air vents above -- it takes patience and time, and not violent leverage with a big-arse screwdriver

- if you're not confident in disassembling parts of your car, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!

- IANAL, but I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that this will at least void the warranty on your nav/entertainment system

- if you're not confident in disassembling parts of your car, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!

- see my other posts on the subject: I am not condoning the breaking of any laws but I do believe that, as adults, we have the right to make the choice

- if you're not confident in disassembling parts of your car, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!
