Enabling full GPS use when driving

[Disco_Moe]

Hi all,

Has anyone modified their head unit to allow you to enter an address into the standard GPS system when driving?

I understand why this function is there and i cant stand it because it eliminates passengers entering an address when driving.

I had this same function in my last car which was a Subaru Liberty. I managed to pull the head unit out and earthed one of the wires so the unit thinks the car is always at a stand still. Worked a treat for 5 years and gave us full access of the system when driving.

Anyone done this in the disco?

thanks.
Moe

Don't know about physical mods to the head unit but 'Nov on the Move' can be enabled for some models using GAP's IID tool. Maybe your lucky and have one of the earlier models this can be done on.

Which Disco do you have? It's possible with a software update for D3s, but not for some of the D4s.

I am hearing lots about the IID tool when i was researching the auto window up option from the remote. i am looking at this now https://www.gap-diagnostic.com/products/iidtool/ is it worth investing in?

I would suggest yes it's worth it particularly if you are considering program changes such as the satnav & windows.
But the other major benefit is fault reading and clearing. This can be very helpful when troubleshooting any issues/problems.

A couple of other threads that may be worth reading:

Discussion of other similar tools is there as well.

IIDTool definitely a worthwhile investment.

And unfortunately, 2010 onwards vehicles cannot have the sat nav on the move function enabled.

I have the 2010 sat nav, and I'm assured by the Nanocom folk that all I have to do is enable Nav on the Move in the Car Configuration File (CCF). Hasn't worked though and haven't as yet been offered a possible resolution.
The D3s require an additional software rewrite as well as the CCF change...

Wow the possibilities with these tools look good but wow so many posts, options and opinions!

thanks guys i will look over this stuff.

Can't speak for Nanocom but simply enabling 'Nav on the Move' in the CCF won't work with the IID tool either.

Getting it functional is a 3 step process. Aside from just altering the CCF file, firmware in the Nav unit must also be rewritten as well. The whole process is said to take ~1hour.

The new Nav firmware is supplied by GAP in a special firmware pack loaded on the IID tool. Don't know if this firmware is something they have done themselves or just firmware sourced somehow from LR.

Edit: I should of course add this applies to early models. It's not possible to update the Nav firmware on later models according to GAP because the Nav module involved on later models can't be communicated with via OBD.

In the case of Nanocom I suspect the new Nav firmware has to be reflashed (some how) first and then 'Nav on the Move' enabled but I'm only speculating about this.

Up to 2009 vehicles
Changing the CCF setting is not sufficient. Please refer to the IIDTool user manual for additional instructions.

2010 and up vehicles
Enabling destination while on the move cannot be done with a diagnostic tool.

That's definitely the case for D3s using the Nanocom, including re-writing the original software afterwards.

I can't disagree with the observations of those before me but my MY16 D4 has the nav on move function disabled in the CCF but I can still input the address on the move. Go figure!!!

With a lot of cars being software driven nowadays I think a software editing/analysis tool like the IIDtool, Nanacom etc are essential, the only consideration is that you need to get one specifically for the car you own, not a generic type that you get on eBay.

I can enter mine on the move (my15)

I can also enter mine on the move MY16.5 :)

As my D4 is the poverty pack,my Garmin stuck to the windscreen is fantastic,no problems at all.:p:D

My MY16.5 doesn't have any limitations when moving.
BUT I take my Garmin along for speed camera alerts.......

Hi,

I can not recall before I modified my MY15 HSE however I got a multimedia system integrated unit and HEMA maps integrated Navigation system unit fitted to the Disco - I can use all LR and Aftermarket navigation systems on the go - also have DVD on at all times and other benefits such as additional cameras from caravan all through the LR touch screen.

Got it from Advanced ICE - just google those words - P.S - its not cheap but fancy.
