2007-2008 G35/G37 DVD/Nav in Motion

Please be advice that do these procedures at your own risk. Because im not responsible for any damage you might do to your car.

First off do not start the engine. Without your foot on the
brake push the start button once. This will turn on the ac power for the car. Next apply the ebrake all the way to the floor then step your foot on the brake and move your shifter to D(drive) positon. (just a reminder dont release the e-brake untill you have putted the shift back into P(park) positon)

Okay to take off the AT shift knob you will need to grab and push down on the silver ring.


Next you'll see and a clip, you want to pull back as the way the arrow is shown.


Next tape up along both side on the console like how i did in the picture this was done to avoid any scratch or damage to the surface when im removing the units. Now stick your finger into the shift boot and try to pull up the console.


This is to show you where the clip is located on both side

Now located these 2 bolts and unscrew them.


Next pull the unit outward and downward alittle and it'll come out.


Now you want to unclip the 3 plug except for the one in the red circle because when i tried to unclip it that thing is super hard to come off so dont take any risk by trying to take it off.


Next located these 2 bolts and unscrew them.


Now stick your hand in there and pull out the central air vents/control unit.

This what both unit will look like off the dash.


Next located these 2 bolts and unscrew them.


Now with both hand slowly pull the monitor out and unclip the plug in the back.

This what look like with everything off except for the radio/cd unit still attach.


Next to take off the radio/cd until you will need to loacte these 2 bolts and unscrew them.

The following sections need to be looked at carefully.
There are 2 seperate sections, one for the NON-Nav unit and the other for
the Nav equipped one.

NON NAV CARS ONLY

Now look at the back of the unit and you'll see all these plugs. You want to unplug the one i cicle in red.


This is how the plug should looks like with all these color wiring.
Cut these 2 wires, one is sky blue (parking brake) and the other is light gray (VSS).

Now connect a wire to the light blue wire coming out of the plug. The Light blue wire is going to get grounded and
the gray wire will remain cut. Remember to tape up the cut wires.

Now put back the radio/cd unit in place and screw in the 2 bolts. This is where im going to mount my ground.


Next you want to reinstall the monitor then screw in the 2 bolts and attach the ground wire to either side.


Then reverse the step and put back all the pieces and remember to re-clip them plugs back in.

Now do the test. I plugged in my dvd player and put the shifter back to P(park) released the e-brake and started the car. Switch to AUX and BINGO


See how the brake light is not on while the dvd is playing.

NAV CARS ONLY

This mod will allow you to bypass the video-while-moving and input-while-moving restrictions that the car has in place. The input-while-moving lockout does not allow you to scroll or use the on-screen keyboard while the car is moving, and the video-while-moving does not allow video to play through the AUX inputs unless the car is stopped and the e-brake is engaged.

What you need:

* screwdriver
* a decent wire stripper or multitool
* some really thin wire (Cat 5 or telephone wire)
* an SPST switch (check Radio Shack)

First thing you need to do is crack open the center console and get access to the back of the nav/av unit. Follow these instructions until you gain access to the back of the radio.

This is where things vary from nav to non-nav cars...

For cars with nav, the pins that you need to cut are #36 (e-brake) and 38 (VSS).

Cut these 2 wires, one is sky blue (parking brake) and the other is light gray (VSS).

To bypass the input lockout of the Nav all you need to do is cut wire #38, the VSS, and wire it up to your switch. When the switch is off, the car thinks it's stopped and the input is enabled.

To enable video while moving, you need to interrupt VSS and ground the e-brake. For that you need to cut the #36 wire and connect the end that goes to the nav unit to a ground in the car.

You can use one of these 2 spots to ground the parking brake wire.
