Is there a navigation MOD?
Does anyone know of a way to override the navigation safety feature for the 2007 g35 and allow the viewing of dvds etc.. while in motion.

theres an interface available on ebay for $200 - its basically just a harness/switchbox i believe that plugs into the nav screen. then you still need a dvd player to plug into that. search on ebay for g35 dvd or something like that.

The original question is regarding playing of video DVD's while driving, but to answer your question, what I've seen done in G35's is to place the speed signal that goes to the Navi's DVD-ROM drive on a switch. This signal tells it when the car is moving. Switching the signal off will tell the nav system the car is not moving. Consequently, the Nav system will not update the location of your vehicle while the signal is disconnected, but will update once the signal is conected again. Not a perfect system, but can allow you to enter an address while driving. Though, given the complication of entering addresses while driving, I would highly not recommend doing so. I can pretty much say that few people will ever have a need to input an address while moving. Remember that the nav system is a luxury, not a necessity. so are cell phones, radios and even cup holders. As with any of them, use them responsibly.

Isn't there a software hack that can eliminate the need to splice a switch into the wiring harness? Sounds like that would be a cleaner and more effective solution...
