It (nav mod) does require some soldering (minimal) wires, but from the looks of it you have the skills. the unit allows two things.. 1 no confirmation ok on boot.. The second is a VSS disable timer.. this allows input while in motion!!! |
Actually, because not all the wires are connected, I can already input information/addresses and change settings while the car is moving, although I do like the idea of no OK button when the nav starts up. I'd get the deluxe bypass switch so I can add a DVD player to my nav screen. (I've heard many people say the screen isn't fast enough to play movies, but Im not so sure about that - because its a CD-based navigation system, I imagine that its the drive that can't read the CD fast enough to fluidly move the map around on the screen - and that has nothing to do with the screen's ability to play a DVD. (Also, the prices on kptechnology's site make me wonder - I made myself an electronic beep to replace the horn chirp. I bought a beeper form Radio Shack for $7 and connected it to the lock output at the driver door and it works great. They want $50 for a "beep module.")
