Nav override

[epmorgan]

I am new to this forum, if this subject has already been discussed please direct me to the right place.

I have an 05 SUV and I'm looking for a possible override code for the nav unit. My wife has an MDX and the nav unit works all the time. I realize the dangers of driving and useing the nav, but it would be nice if my passenger could use it.

I have done some research, and found some good info on a cadillac forum. Apparently, there is a code that could be used on the 03-04 units that overode the motion detection. By holding down the note button, you get a screen that allows you to enter a code (1791) I think. I have tried this on my 05 and I get a screen pop up, but no way to enter a code.

I have heard that the wiring can be spliced and install a toggle switch to bypass the motion detection, but that seems extreme if there is another way.

I have had a CD and DVD player added and the installer has it set up to use a built in switch to allow the sound from the DVD to play through the truck speakers. By pressing the search button up and then down in the XM1 mode, the sound plays through the speakers. This was a built in feature, but not one that you would know about accidentally.

Just makes me think there is some way to bypass the unit
