^ I like the Dual Pole approach. The DVD Park Brake ground wire could be reversed if ever a 'dealer' issue arose, but it is highly unlikely.
To watch a DVD, simply engage the VSS bypass and the vehicle is ready to watch a DVD in motion OR enter NAV info!

warp speed ahead Mr. Sulu! (Brian!)

WRT the switch... someone with mild electrical design ability might be able to make a small circuit board with the correct outputs to control these options intelligently. Otherwise, I believe the heated seat switch is the correct on off on solution. Other than the illuminated top of the switch indicating a seat heater!...

:tup:

Just for clarification: the bypass for the camera is just to keep the camera on at all times (use like a rearview mirror), but when put in reverse, the back-up camera will always come on automatically still. Is this correct?

That is correct. A switch to enable the camera in any gear or neutral.

Or for the next generation fans:
"Make it so..."

I will look to create a harness with a connector that will allow connection to the remote unit or physical switch. That way I can offer you guys the choice with common components.

Jeff: Let me know if you are interested in another trip to NJ

Speaking of disabling things...how about disabling the signal to the Nav unit that tells it the Roadsters's top is open? This disables the voice recognition even if the car is stopped.

Sweet!! You and Jeff are awesome for doing this for us. I just wish I had my car to install mine. :mad:

i would be up for it. what is the kit going to be like after all the input from everyone? last i checked it was a remote, then a 2 way switch, so where does it stand now?

(whispers...) remote

(shouts) SWITCH!!!!

Maybe its time for a new thread to get an idea of how many people are looking for the NAV DVD hack harness and for which version: remote :ugh2: or switch :tup:. ;)

What do you think Brian? Jeff?

yea i think we are due for a new thread. lets let brian start it to, to keep things organized since he knows all the options and whats involved in each.

Hey Jeff, if you can, when you get the new thread going, post here so we don't miss it. Thanks!!:tup:

Has anyone with an 09 heard from Navtool yet?
