Pretty much used the above info to build a poor mans video in motion and NAV address entry in motion bypass.. Any interest in that here?? I've verified it's all working but I need to put the package all together.. time is hard to find nowadays that spring is here, lol.. This is more of a winter cooped up project.. Looks like I can make the rear camera turn on as needed too, not sure how much I'll want that when I'm not in reverse though... I haven't seen any writeups here like this, if this is too simple, or below the scope of this site, let me know.. Or I can write up what I've found out and how I go about it.. Kind of lengthy and probably not a very savvy way of doing it, heh heh but it works..
On a side note, I found this site using google to research a video in motion hack for my own personal vehicle, I had got my hands on a factory nav unit, worked out the missing vss wire, added an amp(Since I did not have a bose system), and then the audio wiring from the VCIM to the nav.. Was woefully disappointed when i found out I couldn't even let my passenger add an address to the nav while I was driving.. Started searching from there for a workaround.. I do have my own MDI and Tech2, I also have access to TIS,SI, etc.. I'll try not to ask for all the secrets, lol..Now onto a few questions if anyone knowledgeable here has the time..
As far as the VIM rewrite hack I have seen here mentioned, that is to change the speed at which the screen is locked out, correct?? On my vehicle(2013 silverado with an 08 nav unit) my screen locks out as soon as I shift it out of park, is this a different situation that what you guys here are working with?? Is this anything even remotely possible with limited knowledge and hardware I have available? Tech2? MDI? an Arduino with an elm327 modified for SW GMLAN access.. If I was to spend the time finding out how to do this(not gonna ask for location or specifics, I like the idea of a challenge) I think I would still be stuck with with being locked out unless I keep on interrupting the trans range status and faking the park status message.. if I am still stuck doing that, the way I fix the vss currently although not as smooth as a nice rewrite would be just too easy not to keep using.. Is there a rewrite trick for the range selection as well?? Maybe I could spend time trying to do both?
Thanks for any tips or suggestions... Tom
