Default 2 Quick Questions

2006 GX470

1) Is there a way to automatically turn the rear AC on when you turn on the front AC? Also is there a shield I can buy to cover the rear controls to prevent my kidsfrom kicking it which turns it on and off??

2) How can I use the NAV while driving? Currently the touchscreen will not work while the car is moving. While I understand the safety feature .... it is annoying and I would like to bypass it.

Thanks in advance!!

1) Doesn't the rear A/C button stay "on" once you press it, even if you shut off the engine? It does on the LX.

2) Yes, you can, but be careful to hit *exactly* the correct buttons, otherwise a lexus tech (lexusBen) on mud said you can accidentally lock-up the nav ECU and the only fix is to replace it. And that's not covered under warranty since they know the only way to lock it up it to mess with the hidden menus!
