Clean, Simple Nav mod
First, look through ( http://priuscar.com/nav_speed_disconnect.htm ) then you can understand better the details of my somewhat simple but very effective mod.
I installed a very small but, rather OEM looking on/off rocker switch in the lower mid-console and it works very nicely. I did not go to the trouble of installing the timer mentioned in the above URL, so I or my wife has to reach down about every 30 seconds or so and cycle the switch back on then off again so that she can continue working the Nav's features that are normally unavailable during movement. We have had no trouble whatsoever with the modificaiton and are very pleased that we now have it.
In this URL ( http://priuscar.com/nav_speed_disconnect.htm ) you'll see a switch installed in a plastic panel that is at the bottom of the center console just above carpet. This is a small panel and easy to remove. Just behind this panel where the carpet terminates are a couple of wire bundles (loosely held in black plastic) coming up from under the carpet. One of those bundles has the the V-W wire coming from the Nav unit under the passenger seat.
I cut my V-W wire at this point and installed a cute little rocker switch into the plastic panel that covers this area. Nice simple and clean install.
