Software conversion video in motion side effects
I am reading that some of the software video in motion fix has some kind of effect on the navi, any knowledge with this?

in some of the other style bypasses it doesn't actually bypass the interlock, it turns off the secondary vehicle speed sensor which SOME nav units use to validate current location. So when this happens you're basically dead in the water until you turn the bypass off as your current location will NOT update meaning that if you wanted to watch video you cant navigate or if you just wanted to update nav input in motion you would have to activate bypass, update the info you needed to but then deactivate the bypass so your position would update as you travelled.....i have used MidCity's unit and my personal unit is the NavTV version and neither of those have any issues related to the question you asked, they are almost flawless in operation....HOWEVER, there are a few new companies that now offer a bypass that is STRICTLY software(maybe what you were referencing to begin with) that work by downloading the file after purchase, burning to cd, running in your Comand unit and then it sorts it out internally with ZERO hardware installed....i have NOT used the software only bypass on a W204 but i have used it on several E and ML class Benz and they were flawless in operation as well......and if i had to do it again the software only bypass would be the ONLY route i chose.....hope this helps

Yes, I am referring to software only bypasses.
And the process I am reading is the one you're describing. Download, burn cd insert and follow prompts.
I thought thy I read on mhht exactly the things that you're referring to, but maybe they referred to hardware bypasses.
To your knowledge, once one of these is implemented, hardware or software, does it also unlock entering destination in navigation while driving, keyboard or voice ?
Thanks.

It unlocked everything in motion, mostly wanted it so my wife could enter a nav destination while moving, but I have not found anything that is locked while moving since doing this.
