Once I fixed the speed pulse wire it operated just fine. My concern with this mod is that I will enable the use of the functions but the nav will suffer. Have you guys noticed this with this mod?

That's why you install it on a toggle switch, so that the factory nav signal is being fed to the nav 99.9% of the time. You toggle to the SPG signal for destination (and phone) inputs when needed.
Which brings me to the next point. I just finished installing one of these on a buddy's 2006 4Runner with blue tooth and he was able to input destinations and phone numbers while moving. Can't speak to any other vehicle but odds are in favor of it working for most toyota navs.
Last thing, the switch is from radio shack.
RadioShack.com - Cables, Parts & Connectors: Component parts: Switches: SPDT Paddle Switch
$3 and they had it in stock at my local store. Be careful not to remove too much of the reinforcement plastic material from the blank out plugs. That material makes the plug fit snuggly back into the hole you'll unclip it from to install your switch. If the reinforcement stuff is removed it'll flop around in there vice clipping back in tight.
that's it, enjoy, thanks again to wilee
