I've recently published an article, complete with photos, of the process I used to install a switch to defeat the speed sensor used for dead reconing and restricting access to the NAV system while the car is in motion. If interested please take a look.

Very nice work!

Thank you, I hope it helps folks out. I've already got ideas for suggested upgrades/revisions to this outline.

I'm going to suggest using a plug for the wires and longer wires so that the center console can be removed again later if necessary. By my plans I cannot, now, remove the console without cutting the wires. Some sort of plug would allow that.

I also want to link to the old Classic Prius article that discusses the use of an automatic timer that intermittenly cycles the system instead of having to flip the switch manually all the time.
