Navigation Hack

Sorry for the noob question. I have looked around already and can only find the info on the AVElectronics Mod. I am looking for a DIY for the navigation that will allow me to input addresses, etc while the vehicle is in motion. I have done this mod on my previous vehicles, Lexus, Infiniti, does anything like this exist for the TL/Acura?

I have a 2009 TL Tech.

Thanks

The system already allows you to input addresses while in motion -- I do it all the time...

I tried to do several things last night on the way home from dinner and kept getting a message about not being able to do that operation while the vehicle was in motion. Example was trying to sync my Bluetooth phone and got the message. I had a 2003 Honda with Navigation and remember being able to have full control, but didnt know if the navi's have changed since then and I have had to "hack" my Lexus and Infiniti do gain operation of things while vehicle is in motion.

It's only adding bluetooth phone numbers and syncing your address book while in motion. Doing anything else can be done while in motion.

2003 Honda Accords with Navi didnt have bluetooth, I have one. And not being able to add a new phone while driving is a good thing. Last thing you need is to try to setup your phone while driving then crash into a wall...... or car.

The only thing I dont like is not being able to view my wallpaper while driving. Sometimes I dont like to have that Navi screen up and would rather view the wallpaper but unless you do it before you drive it cant be done.

if you setup your wallpaper before driving,
the next time you start your car, don't press anything on the nav
and it will bring your wallpaper up while you are driving!

it's the default screen if you don't touch anything.

I knew that, but what if I wanted to check the weather then go back to the wallpaper.....it won't let me. Not that big of a deal, just something I would like to be able to do.

Yes it will. There's an option to go back to the wallpaper somewhere, I've done it before. Don't know off the top of my head where it lies though.

I am actually very curious on how to do this. It drives me nuts that i can upload a new picture and select it while driving, but simply cant set the pic on?

What are you looking to do? Hack is such a strong and "wrong" word. Take a look at NavTool, it may be something of interest.

If you have the tech package, it has a hard drive that will allow you to store pictures and use it for your wallpaper. I have done this on my 2009.

It is not a hack. It is a feature built into the system. I do not know the exact sequence from memory but you store the pictures in a thumb drive and upload them to your car. Look through the menu on the radio and it gives an option to upload images. Then it gives you an option to select wallpaper. I haven't done it in a while so I am not sure exactly the sequence.
