H3 Navigation

[RockBrown]

DVDs only work in park for safety; also destinations can't be changed while traveling. Home destination and emergency dest. can be used while traveling.On the backup camera as I mentioned earlier cannot be intergrated with fact. nav. according to the dealer. If someone else finds out different please post it.
thanks

That depends on how crafty you get.

A switch fixes that problem.

You can probobly bypass the park safety. Than you have total access.When you are driving its destracting (not a good idea)but passanger can have access .It would be a pain in the a s s to pull over and look for a resturant or gas.

anyone have any ideas how to bypass the safety to play the DVD. I can deal with not changing destination during travel. I cna pull over and do it in 5 min, but having a DVD player would be cool for my passengers

I know the Hummer Silicon Valley dealership was installing H2 navs in H3's with Hitchcams running on the nav display. I saw one working in November. But you are probably concerned with the factory H3 nav setup.

yeah, and anyways isn't it true that with the H2 nav you cant play a cd and look at nav at the same time.

Correct. Very very very poor design. System works great but was not thought through in the design process IMO.

That's what i thought.

I have an 04 F-150 with the Eclipse Nav system installed by the dealer. Originally, I would have to stop and depress the emergency brake to have full use of the Nav (data entry). PIMFA! I took it to a different ford dealer and the tech fixed it in 5 mins. He said that a wire that it receives power from was grounded to the emergency brake. All you have to do is ground in to the frame instead. No mention of a switch though. I have no idea how to do this or even if it is accurate info. It's just what he told me. Anyways, I have full access (including watching a DVD) while the truck is moving.
