Thread: Enabling full GPS use when driving

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:
Which Diagnostic Tool for a14MY D4 SDV6
IID Tool vs Faultmate MSV-2 for D4

Discussion of other similar tools is there as well.

Cheers,

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.
