Friends: 0 |  GPS Change While Driving Help! I cannot figure out how to change the GPS while the vehicle is moving. I understand it is a safety issue, but when I am riding with someone, it is very frustrating not to be able to change or program the GPS without stopping. Certainly there is something I'm not figuring out. Thanks for assistance.  |

The override is controlled by a single wire coming out of the back of the navigation unit (the radio). All you have to do is ground the wire (connect it to any negative grounding site on the car) and it will override the need to stop, etc. | |

I think that this is a Toyota decision. After all, you can buy a Garmin Nuvi which is made for use in automobiles and make changes to everything while moving. Keith | |
