Another possible lead on 2006 Nav Lockout issue...

(The following applies to 2006 models with Nav)

While doing some experimenting with the MFD today, I noticed the following:

1. If you press and hold the "Map/Voice" button for about 10 seconds, it will beep a 2nd time.

2. Nothing changes on the display, but it's as though it is acknowledging some next step...

3. Continuing to hold it down indefinitely produces no further beeps.

4. No other buttons on the MFD will produce a 2nd beep when held down.

5. Pressing the map button on the steering wheel behaves the same way, but the 2nd beep comes after 5 seconds instead of 10.

6. Pressing BOTH map buttons (steering wheel and MDF) results in a beep at 5 seconds and another beep at 10 seconds.

7. I tried pressing various other buttons such as ODO and flipping the headlights on and off a few times while holding the map button, but there was no apparent change in behavior of the lockout problem.

Any suggestions?

Folks ...

The very first line in my post said: "The following applies to 2006 models with Nav"

I don't mean to lecture, but in thread after thread on this topic, where 2006 owners are seriously trying to get some facts in order, someone comes in and immediately posts 2005 info or "you mean that doesn't work?" stuff or other useless commentary.

PLEASE, PLEASE help us keep these threads on-topic. Thank you.

Yes, I tried, nothing seemed any different. I would pull into my driveway, try a few combinations of items, then go around the block and see if anything was accessible.

Also, I tried a few combinations while at speed, but I didn't go through everything lest the neighbors think I was casing the joint...
