Entune/CarPlay Nav while in motion

[nickyreno]

I want to be able to use entune while in motion. I don’t want/need anytime cameras and I don’t want to have to add additional switches or plugs.

What are my options?

 

[StormRnr]

That would be nice.

So you want to use the navigation while moving? As in entering addresses and such? Is that correct?

If so your only option I know of is to add a switch that disconnects the head unit front he movement sensor and therefore tricks the hard unit into thinking the truck is not moving. I'm sure if you're savvy you may be able to come up with a no cut, no switch solution for this using the instructions attached.

See the attached PDF.

Use your phone nav instead? Won't Waze, google/apple/bing maps all show up on the head unit? Easier than modding a bypass?

Not for navigation purposes. I use Apple Car Play if i need navigational guidance. I'm more concerned with being able to search through the music on my Bluetooth device (in this case, my phone). Entune will not allow me to make selections until I've stopped moving.

Yeah that seems silly. I usually just leave one of two sat presets on. As a cheap hack could you guy an aux cable and bypass the usb altogether?

Or this thing will let you bluetooth to aux

I can still use my mobile device to do anything I want while it's connected through bluetooth, I just can't do anything using the head unit while I'm moving. I just want to be able to pick a song without having to pick up my phone.

The method described in the attached file I linked above should work to build the motion detection in the head unit and also allow you to access the rest of the head units features. It does in mine.

Can’t I just un-pin #17? What’s the point of having it on a switch?

 

[midnight20pro]

copy that, sorry for the confusion. Good luck!

I think the reason for the switch is you only disconnect it when you want to make changes. otherwise you leave it connected so the navigation will work.

If you were to just unpin it the nav would never update your movement. Meaning you would no longer get the live movements of the cursor on the screen.

Well shit. Think it would still update weather info through a location based means?

 

[Mr. Nobody]

Likely yes. It's only for the vehicle movement tracking.
