Default Nav and Multimedia system: how much is locked down when in motion?

I'm considering getting a 250h which also has the much-ballyhooed remote-touch multimedia pointing device.

I've had Lexi before and was always annoyed at how many functions (on the Navigation system and multimedia interfaces) that are greyed-out once the car is in motion.

I'm just curious, with their latest version of their system, using the funky mouse pointing device, how many things cant you do while in motion?

pretty much as same as before. but they introduced new voice command system to control GPS when driving. for some case it works but not superb

It's a very nice system, but if you are expecting fewer greyouts than you had in your previous system, you will be disappointed-too many to list.

The solution (I guess) for 2010 RX 350 is the Prestige Society Nav Override system. See other posts for opinions (may not work in your 250).

The new 2010 RX nav system sucks. The "voice" is harsh and way too much is greyed out while moving.
