Default Sync 3 navigation not operable by passenger with vehicle in motion

This has me furious. Yesterday trying to find a hardware store an hour from home.. we were running late and on some background and I got a little lost. I asked my girlfriend to get the on board nav to get us there.. the thing would NOT let her do anything because we were moving. Voice operation was a total joke and might as well be worthless. What do I have to do to override this? So stupid!!!

"Hey" Siri, directions to ? hardware store--done deal

Name a car that lets you fool with Nav while driving (maybe there is 1)

My old 2014 Hyundai Sonata.
My Acura won’t let me and I don’t have Nav on the truck. I’m not a fan of the nav systems that come on on vehicles. The phones always way better

Wife's Mini cooper allows you to modify navigation while in motion

There is a FORscan hack for turning this feature on. Tricks the truck into thinking you are in Europe. They apparently allow it there.

I just got the truck so I am new to figuring things out. I am getting into that forscan stuff very soon. Thanks for the link!

wow.. look at this link. This plug in allows you to turn on rear camera while towing AND screen mirroring from your cell phone AND use onboard Nav while moving. https://naviks.com/catalog.html

But one of the main drawbacks with this is, it will Disable your 911 assist--that could come in very handy

Great to point that out. Have accident, airbags deploy, you're unconscious, and your truck isn't dialing 911, but you can pick a new destination while you drive...

Most people just use the maps in the smart phone.
