Hey TN! Ok, after splicing into the wire and installing a switch, yesterday was the first day of testing it out since it's my commuter car I had time to fully test the mod. This is what I observed, since you have to switch it off to get the greyed out icons highlighted while the vehicle is in motion, right? When you switch it off, your movement on the navi thinks your at a stop or in park.
I left the switch on the off position the whole time driving into work. After work I find the navi moving while I was in motion to pick up my kids and second guessing myself that I never switched it back to the on position. Hit the phone icon and was able to to use the dial pad, from there I knew that I didn't switch over the toggle.
So, all in all.... This mod I think could be an easy mod and no material needed to spend on. How? I think all you need is to pull out the speed sensor wire lead #17 and your done, reinstall HU, heater vents and dash panels. I'm not 100% sure if it'll work but base off what I observed I think it will work. The switch is just a feature to turn on and off the highlighted grey icons and give power to the speed sensor by the toggle switch.
