legacygt07 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 So i grounded the pin to unlock navi underneath my seat.. unlocks navi in motion.. but doesnt unlock dvd while in motion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHM1AN Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Done. So easy after I actually got myself outside to do it. Things you need: 1 molex connector 1 tweezers (to remove the cables from the plug 1 box cutter (to strip the opposite end of the molex connector. Do not cut off the pointy side) 1 14mm socket wrench (get one that rachets) Electrical tape. 30 minutes (seriously, if you're quick you can get this done in probably 10.) Remove the two bolts from the front seat, lean the seat back, get your fingers to unplug the connector, insert the pointy side of the molex connector in the right slot, wrap the other end of the wire around the DVD enclosure, wrap that with electrical tape, turn your nav unit on to make sure the PKB is ON, make any necessary adjustments if it's not, bolt seat back down, enjoy.

rock2534 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 So i grounded the pin to unlock navi underneath my seat.. unlocks navi in motion.. but doesnt unlock dvd while in motion? I think you have to do the same thing on the back of the nav screen to get the dvd to play while in motion. But don't quote me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slvrlegacygt Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 i already unlocked my gps in motion with the adding the wire under the seat but can't access the other option that fall under info while in motion like calculator and all those options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fx4me Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 But how often do you need to solve a math problem while driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07spec Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I finally did this after owning my 07 SpecB for years. I'm lazy I guess. Worked great! I used a wire from a floppy drive power connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 None of this unlocks the other INFO options (like the calculator), does it?

07spec Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 No, no calculator while moving. But at least you get to enter addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Got it. Bummer. I never had the issue with nav-in-motion, because I'm using a Kenwood Nav module instead of the stock unit. Garmin FTW.

garbo41610 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 does this work for 5th Gen nav? The hack for the GenV is essentially the same. However, the e-brake input is at the back of the head unit on a green coloured plug (It's green downunder, not sure about the USDM Legacy's). All up it's about a 10-20 min job depending on your skill level for taking dashboards apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teksimian Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I did this hack yesterday. There was a small difference in that the vehicle signals screen didn't provide any e-brake signal info. I didn't have any feed back and wasnt sure if it was working until I went for a test drive. Secondly, I didn't ground the pin to the chassis, I simply ran a wire from the ebrake pin to the pin with the black wire. seemed a lot cleaner and easier. Anyways, cheers, thanks for the info!

Could you post a picture of your diagnostics screen? robertsm99 posted a picture of the "VEHICLE/GYRO SIGNALS" screen in his 2008 here. Another 2008 owner, Kargurra, said his did not show the parking brake status (in this post). Tip for others: Search this thread for diagnostic* (with asterisk, to catch both diagnostic and diagnostics) to find other posts that talk about accessing that screen.

heleu Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I just did this in 15 minutes with a paperclip. I just bent the paperclip and grounded it on the metal part of the unit. Parking brake is now "on" all the time! I'm sure it would have been easier if I removed the seat, but there's no need really; you just need a flashlight and small fingers so you see what you are poking at.
