Is there any way to disable that lawyer screen in the NAV on startup? I am guessing not, but I thought I'd ask. What a pain to push that okay button every time.

I agree, it is really stupid that we have to hit the "I Agree" button every friggen time the car is started up. What makes it worse is that once the car is in motion you can't actually do much of anything with the nav of phone system anyway.
I know this isn't a government regulation since my wife just got an 05 mercedes with integrated navigation and you don't have to hit a "I Agree" button *and* you can acutally operate the nav system while the car is in motion.

I know a few of my friends already choosen the Acura MDX just because it's NAV can be operated while in motion. I have a Acura TSX, and I ended driving it much more then my GX470, mainly because of the same reason. So, it definitely not because of any safety or government regulation issues. Plus, the Acura Navi voice commands sure put my Lexus' to shame.

??? Getting ready to take delivery of the '05 with NAV system and this is news to me...? Please explain in detail about NAV not working while in motion? How are you suppose to tell which exit you'll be getting off, how many miles you have to go where you are on the road, heading north, south, east, west, etc... If you can't use it while driving...

What they mean by it "not working while in motion" is that you cannot enter addresses while driving. You have to stop in order to operate it in that sense. But once you enter an address, the nav will certainly operate and direct you while in motion.

BTW, for those who may not know, you do get full NAV function while driving with RSES (including entering addresses), but of course it is from the back seats, using the remote!
So get your spouse to chauffeur you around while you truly are a backseat driver (with computer aided directions)

I don't know about you guys but I think it's very difficult to enter a new address while driving and you shouldn't be allowed to. It takes too much attention. But you can do anything else while driving (calling up saved destinations, etc..) so what's the big deal? Are we really that busy?

Lexus should allow you to enter the address when there's a front passenger .
If it's just the driver alone, then it should be disabled.
Cell phone, make-ups, screaming kids...... drivers need to pay attention to the road, not be distracted I'm sure most of us are capable of multi-tasking, but it would be safer for us when others are not that capable-I'd rather be safe than to have someone plow into me just b/c that driver is distracted

Note: The GX does allow this but ONLY with previously stored addresses (Like "home" and pre-stored addresses) thereby making the voice feature useless 98% of the time.

It is interesting that most people respond to this is as if they never have a co-pilot. I think it would be great to have the passenger place entries into the Nav system without having to pull over. I have been in more than a couple of situations where allowing that very situation to happen is safer than pulling over on the freeway, because you ALREADY are going to one destination and are curious about a different one. I think it completely lame for Lexus to not considerater that as a viable option. Sure, keep the legal screen, and leave the option for data entry for those who can use proper judgement. They could even use the passenger seatbelt detector as the safety variable to allow front passenger operation. If you stick a toolbox on your front passenger seat to over-ride that option and kill youself ... that would just be nature's way of calling you home early.
