This thread is starting to remind me of a Bing commercial.

Bing was the first name of my sophomore roommate in college, he was a former national chess champion actually. I played him one time and beat him after his rook sacrifice failed. I never played him again so I could always say I beat him every time we played.

I'm gonna be the oddball here.

Of course Lexus had to make it unusable while driving for liability reasons. So there must be people who DO watch while driving....

And the temptation to use the hacked Nav while driving "because I can" would be akin to texting while driving. Which HAS been proven to cause accidents.

Soooo.......Although most of the OP's original post may be a bit exaggerated or comical, I think he has a valid point.

i guess what i really meant was it should have come from the factory like that. if the passenger air bag is enabled, so then the nav can be operated while moving.

Well... my passengers have a habit of taking of their seat belts before I come to a complete stop ... and the car goes nuts - even after they have left.

The reason why I have mine turned off..

My dog sat in the passenger seat once and she weighs just enough to kind of trigger the alarm. So it randomly went on and off haha

So you hold the mic in one hand, look at the navi screen for the words, AND rock out with your other hand? Sounds like OP just had a heart attack haha
