Discussion of E-Brake & Speed Sensor Override (instructions in "Stuck" thread)

[Riker2k]

Hmm, my sense is that it's not a GPS thing, more gut feel than anything but I think this original topic was about being able to view video on the display using the AUX input in the arm console compartment.

If I recall the instructions emailed by zozo, (thx again BTW!!! ) they are shown for a non-nav equipped vehicle so there wouldn't be a GPS in that car and the video gets disabled when you start moving. Well, actually it does require a parking brake fix as well cause the video playback requires it to be on if I'm not mistaken.

Anyhow, point being, I'm fairly certain that my options don't grey out until I'm moving over around 3MPH or so, just like the backup / around-view camera will work if you are just crawling and then shuts-off as soon as you break a speed threshold. My guess is speedo connection...

Just a really crazy, naive question. Pretty sure I already know the answer, but has anyone asked the dealer whether we can request that safety bypass from the dealer? Just curious whether it may be like the Canadian medium-rare hamburger rule where they'll only cook it that way if you request it and sign a waiver...

I know, probably too good to be true but thought I'd ask. Personally, I can deal with the NAV input lockout but the Music Box album / artist list lockout when moving is RIDICULOUS. I can search my entire iPod while driving from the controls but can't look at the album list on the Music Box?

Sorry for the long post.

Email sent. We all try to live by rules and keep it. To post it would not be such a good idea.

Actually, this is the "crack" I want ... to be able to use the camera without being at an absolute crawl. Anyone know how to do this, or is it miraculously included in these secret instructions?

You are correct. It is not related to the Navi yet. I am sure in a nearest future it will be. That will be a sad day.

Hi Zozo... Can i request a copy of the email.. thank you very much.

my email id is [email protected]

I figured out yesterday that i could play video only in park mode (for the first time).. i dont have nav though... when i bought this car two months ago, i realized that my parking brake is broken as well as cracks in the rotor. I couldnt understand who can drive with parkng brakes on, but i guess this was the reason.. those who used the car drove it with parking brakes in order to watch the video!!..

thanks again for the help..

[sougandh]

btw i have a 2007 g35.. and it would be great if anyone who have received the info from zozo can email it to me... thanks

Hi Everybody, my fiance and I just picked up an EX35 and I was wondering if Zozo would be so kind as to email me a copy as well? Thank you in advance! [email protected]

I am a new user b/c of this post. This issue is the single most frustrating thing about the ex35. How is it safer/better that i, as a passenger, have to use my iPhone while driving to find a local restaurant or map an address? I agree there should be a passenger sensor to allow them to use the nav. zozo, if you're still monitoring this thread, if you would be so kind, please email me the instructions.

and, if anyone has already done it on the ex35, please let us know any issues you ran into, success, or horror stories.

thank you,

Yes, the Big Brother thing is definitely annoying! Welcome to the group, frazzled!!

[morning_glory]

Is this modification also permit the use of the cameras or it's only for the DVD playback ?

[zozoka1212]

[zozoka1212]

It disables the lock. You can use phone,dvd, etc. I don't have cam but It should.

Hi Zozo,

Would you also email me when you have a moment? Thank you so much in advance.

Has anyone had success with this mod in a 2006 QX56? I don't have a dvd, however, the NAV issue is real when driving into a town with passengers and wanting to look for an address or restaraunt without pulling over. Would appreciate help.

[zozoka1212]

Can you guys please email me instead of posting here. I am not on the Ex forum all the time.

Thank you.

Hi everybody:

Just to let you know that I went through all the steps of the zozoka emailed procedure and unfortunatly I stopped at the final step (wire cut...).Configuration of the connector and color of the wire were different from what we can see in the procedure.

We will need to wait for more details specific to the EX.

[dividedhighw]

Your "heads up" is much appreciated! This will likely save people some wasted effort for the time being.

Cheers,David

[EX55]

I totally agree. It drives me crazy that the passenger can't manipulate the NAV! And to think they thought of everything else...

[cullyex35]

I just bought an 08 ex35 and i hope zozo can email me the info on the parking brake disable.

Thanks

Hmm ... I wouldn't say that, exactly. IMHO, there are quite a few things where Infiniti included a feature but didn't execute well or completely.

Cheers,David

[maxxedout09]

Whats up guys..? I have been searching for a remedy for this.. any chance I can get a copy of that email? Mine is [email protected]. I have an 09 maxima with the nav and video input. I am trying to disable the park requirement for video playback. everything else works great.

In the following thread, there are instructions on how to watch your DVD video on your front NAV screen in an Armada or a QX56, I am not sure how similar this is to the EX35. In the Armada as it is set from the factory, you must be in Park, with your E-Brake on, and not moving in order for video to be displayed on your NAV screen. This mod allows you to watch the DVD on your front NAV screen while you are going down the highway or on a family trip.
