The park sensor is provided so as not to allow you to enter NAV information into your unit unless you are parked with the parking brake set. That applies a GROUND to the input disabling that interlock.

If you just run that lead to ground, you remove the inhibit input sensor in the Navigation and can then input destination changes while the vehicle is in motion. This, of course; should be done by your co-pilot so that you are not distracted while driving. If you want to be legal, there should be a switch on the "P" break that transmits a ground signal to the ECU. Connect to that. Personally, I just grounded the lead.

If we did want to attach the green wire to the parking sensor, which wire is that on the Passion? I found some articles on Evilution that talk about pulling up ALL of the carpet to find this, but if someone has already figured out which wire it is at the dash origination point, please advise.
