Just got done with this and wanted to say thanks for the write up! Very easy mod! Took about ten min.

 

Im assuming you disconnected the battery before doing this mod?

 

Nope

 

There's no need to disconnect the battery if you don't disconnect the yellow airbag wire harness.

here's my setup...

left side is master switch for all my aftermarket goodies (AVelectronics nav/tuner, PS2, BearCat tracker, rear DVDs, power inverter, and trunk mounted power block)

Second switch is my NAV VSS hack, to allow input while driving.

Third is the toggle switch for the nav/tuner.

Wow, this shows how observent I am! :-P What is the switch in the glove box for? I've never seen it. Better go check now!

that's the switch to turn off your trunk switch so they can't open it from the driver side.

Switch it to OFF, lock your glove box and give them the valet key... no access to the trunk.

Cool. Thanks for the info! So does this mod remove it's functionallity all together?

not sure... I would not imagine so, if you splice it in. Although, I used a separate rocker switch.

Yes it no longer allows you to lock your trunk. You have to connect the original wires for the trunk together or your trunk will be permanently locked.

How much spend for your nav to dvd setup ted? where in so-cal you get it done at?

 

Right on. . .I'm using a seperate rocker switch then.

Thx!

Couldn't you just splice the 2 new wires together with the existing wires of the trunk switch so that both remain operational?

 

I just tried to do this mod on my brand new 2005 G35X, and I don't think that the wires are the same for this model year. I spliced into the green and the white wires, and when I flip the switch, the Navi colors get all screwed up. I had to put everything back together, and thank god it still works right!!! Can someone please confirm which wires need to be spliced for the 2005 G35, and from which harness. I am not putting the glove box back on yet, and would like to get this done. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Sam

 

that sucks, i was gonna do this the very first day! i guess some one needs to get the diagrams for the 05's to confirm
