2011 M56 - How do I disable the NAV lock?????
I have looked thru the forums and all I can find are instructions for 2010 or older. I have the new body and almost everything is different. please help!!!
An infiniti rep once told me that its now a programming thing and if I can get the codes im set.
i dont think he knew what he was talking about but I'm reaching out...............HELP!

Welcome and congrats on the new M.

I don't really know that a program change or parameter alteration will really help for a few reasons. Infiniti is not too keen on granting access to the AV control units. I was reading an updated service procedure and there are many hoops I have to jump through to make an update using their computer.

Basically if you tinker with it an break something that is not constituted as a warrantable repair and you might be on the hook for a $3-5k (depending on trim level) audio computer.

Now I agree with you the lockout feature can be a little annoying but there is no quick fix for this. They have gotten much better with the amount of access you are granted through either voice command (most need Alternate Command Mode) or some similar route. A few years ago the majority of the computer information was blackened for safety. The Japanese are crazy like that. I know I was driving a Range Rover recently that lets to play with everything while in motion, that would never happen if it came from the Land of the Rising Sun.

What are you trying to get into?

I really do not know if I'd offer my new M to a company that spells Infiniti wrong every time. If this is one of those switches that just drops the speed signal input and replicates a parking brake switch it might be an interesting mod but the site is pretty interesting but the site is a little too vague for me.

I have had the Beat Sonic bypass on my 2009 M for a few months now and it works great. Very easy plug and play install.

I have an M56 and I can enter destinations while driving....what are you trying to "unlock" ? In my case, I'd like to get the nav system to show vehicle speed while driving...and so far, I cannot get it to do that ! Good luck. Doug
