On alot of aftermarket head units you can just ground the wire that goes to the parking brake to the case and it'll work. If that doesn't work then there's a way to set up a relay to open a circuit to ground when the key is turned on. Not sure on the factory equipment though. My guess is it's more complicated.

There's a thing called mygig lockpick for the mopar products.. Works great on the dodges I've installed it on.

Wonder if someone makes something like that for gm

I'm running a lock pick on my Lmm. I love it. Can enter address in my nav, watch DVDs and use my back up camera while driving. Plus install is easy

If the Nav doesn't work while driving what good is it? Or is it a programming thing? I'm surprised they don't outlaw those devices that allow you to make it work with all the text and driving issues.

I'll tell you I am guilty of it occasionally but not anymore. A young girl with a child (not with her in the car at the time) was on her phone on the INTERNET rear ended a guy on his motorcycle unfortunately he died. Thee girl had a clean record and she was given a 2 year stint in prison! Plus other punishment. Something to ponder when you drive distracted.

The nav still works with the lockpick.. I think what harbin was saying if you bypass the factory stuff without the lockpick that the nav will not work....
