Navigation while moving

Nice

 

Pin 17 is which wire? Sorry to ask but to someone like me with no electrical knowledge of cars, pin 17 can be one of two wires depending on which direction you’re looking at the plug in. Not sure if it’s the purple wire or the white wire. Thanks

Nevermind. I found it - purple wire for anyone slow like me and unsure which one.

 

@snwbrdr852 - I’ve had my wife cut for few days now and mine still doesn’t work right. The system is now really glitchy and voice turn by turn doesn’t work. While driving it also ‘jerks’ where it used to scroll smoothly while I was driving. How long did it take for yours to begin to work correctly again?

 

The "cut and move on" method worked fine on my '19 Taco. I originally wired up a "nav interrupt" switch, but I forgot to turn the switch back on after inputting an address one day. The map starting moving by itself after a couple minutes and has worked ever since. I eventually just cut the pin 17 wire and used the switch for something else. My passenger can still do nav inputs while the vehicle is in motion.

 

I wonder why I can type and search my navigation while driving? I have done nothing to bypass?

 

You original owner?

 

Yes

 

Consider yourself lucky then. Mine didnt allow address input while driving

 

just seems weird.. i did change the lock settings but that’s it.

 

Hmm... had to go out and check mine just for grins. Works while in motion on mine too. Weird. Haven’t used it much only 600 miles on it and have been using the entune app on my phone to enter destinations. Dealer do it somehow maybe?

 

This guy makes a switch to override the Nanny Truck

I thought about purchasing that switch a couple weeks ago but decided to try the cutting of wire 17 first since that’s quick easy and zero cost. What does the switch do different that I didn’t do by cutting the wire?

 

Just makes it easily reversible. I guess only important for the folks who seem to be having issues after cutting the wire.

 

You found yours?

 

I wish I had an answer for you, but it was so long ago that I have no clue. And I almost never use the nav anyway. I've probably used it less than 15 times in the 2.5 years I've owned it.

 

But I can't have a text displayed while the vehicle is moving....kind of defeats their "safety" purpose.

 

Same with me. I had to run the wire through dry contacts on a relay. I powered the relay from a button on my dash.

 

worked fine on my 19.

 

I've moved on lol. I figured if I'm stopped I'll enter what I need to enter. If I'm moving, I'll have passenger set up navigation on Waze.

Did it take time for your Nav to catch up to your location? Someone had mentioned that took a while but it finally started working.

 

cut my wire and fired up the truck and drove it and it worked perfectly, just like it should have been designed to do. No waiting for updating or catching up.
