Is it true that we're not allowed to talking about bypassing the AUX input "motion sensor" on our cars?

I know someone did it when patching his Garmin into his dash screen. I just couldn't tell by the pictures he posted what he did and his private inbox is full.

So, if we're allowed to talk about the bypass idea, anyone interested in pointing me in the right direction??

anyone? bueller?


thanks.

i think you just violated rule # 23.

 

No we are not allowed to talk about it on thsi forum but let me assure you that there are other forums that allow such topics and you should be able to find them pretty easy.

And suby i dont think he violated the rule as he clearly said that "IF" we're allowed to talk about it he would like some help...

 

Figured it was against the rules. That's why I asked about the rule first, the topic second.

Anyways, thanks for the heads up.

 

Well, you can bypass anything you want.

We are technically not suppossed to discuss how watch videos/movies from the nav screen while the car is in motion.

It depends on how you word your posts / responses.

 

There are a lot of things other than watching movies that could be done with such a mod such as using the display for something like the Camp 2 or maybe a much more advance GPS such as Topo from Delorme.

Another consideration maybe not to bypass anything and instead tap into the screen itself (or replace with another) and swap between the display for your application and the onboard.

If you mess with the aux input lock out you may also be messing with other functions of the display unit, something to keep in mind.

 

was hoping to do something similar to what I was reading about, i.e. patch a 3rd party GPS into the screen.

 

Aux input discussion is fine,
motion sw safety bypass is not.

 

Tapping into the display looks possible without making any logic modifications to the rest. If using the aux input you will be limited by its resolution.

Possibly the easiest and maybe the best would be the additon of a second display powered by a car computer. My intitial measurements seem to indicate that if one was to build a custom enclosure that you could actually place a display between the shifter and the bottom of the a/c controls giving up your ash tray. There are lots and lots of displays in various resolutions and there are several GPS applications such as Topo, MS, and others.

There is another option as well and that is there is a heads up display that is available for gauges and one of the features is an option for a GPS.
