Disable NAV Safety Features - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

slizoth · 11-21-2012, 01:49 PM

Hey guys,

I need to read through my manual in more depth but I wanted to know if you guys know how to turn off some of the safety features of the Infotainment system. For example I cant select a contact in my Phone menu while the car is moving but I can dial back numbers from my call log, Id like to be able to access my contacts all the time.

Thanks

There are other threads regarding this. You have to ground a wire and splice a switch into the GPS wire. The only way you're bypassing the GPS lock-out is by making the GPS think the car is stationary -> switch.

Here is a way to do it without any wiring for us Canadian folk:

Also, the reason it won't allow you to do anything is not because you are moving it is because the e-brake is not pulled. Many people have put in switches to bypass this. Just do a simple search in the DIY section
