It will mess up the electronics. Especially when you rear-end someone at 60mph.

Guess talking on the cell and texting while driving isn't distracting enough for you Nexien...

Sure hope you don't live in Hawaii...

To get it to work you will have to remove the seatbelts and disconnect the airbags.

See you in the Darwin awards!!!

I don't know why everyone's busting your butt. There have been several threads on this subject and lots of people claim to have installed a switch to do exactly what you're describing. It's a little above my skill level personally but if you do a search on this forum, you should find some threads with exact information how to mod your NAV screen to play videos while driving.

i called one of the local car audio shop and they said that they can do it. it will cost 150 to do it, and they said that they will install a switch. I just wonder will this kind of work will affect on my guarantee, and is it safe to do?
some said that u need to remove the seatbelt and airbag? and also when u rear end somone around 60mph this will mess it up?
i am not sure whats going on here but if anyone has any useful info pls let me know.... an thnx very much.
cuz tomorrow i will bring it in to get it done.

I never heard of "NavTool". My opinion is I would not want anyone messing with my audio wires. If anything happens to it it will cost a boat load to fix. I know this because my sister has an 2010 RDX. This winter her teenage son fiddled with the system. He wanted to "hard wire" a radar detector (without her knowledge - and it is illegal where she lives!); it destroyed the whole audio/Nav circuitry and some interior lights: $2,500 to fix this on a 6-month old car. My nephew knows electronic well, and it was a stupid mistake but he is still working 2 shifts on the weekend to pay her back... and walking to school now.

All these systems are interrelated. I installed audio systems in my and friends' cars until 2008 (as a amateur - no expert here). I would not try it. On my 2004 RSX, it installed a Pioneer double din head unit (BT700) with the "hand brake by-pass" switch to do just that, but it was on a system that was being installed and the instructions were clear. I did lose "sensitivity" on GPS (the speed sensor was impacted by this change. When I entered long tunnels (200 yards or more), the image of the car on the GPS was "froozen" in its track until I got out and the GPS could find a signal. It looked funny: frozen for 20 sec and then warp speed ahead!

Ice.
