Or selecting an iPod track using a GPS with iPod support (or any MP3 for that matter)? So its a poorly written un-enforceable law that isn't going anywhere. They would me much better off passing a law on the units themselves that lock out non-voice destination entry while driving, like Toyota, BMW, Ford, Nissan... Telematics: In 2002, voluntary safety guidelines to enhance driver focus when using telematics were developed by the Alliance, the Intelligent Transportation Society of America, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Consumer Electronics Association, AAA, the National Safety Council, AIAM and the Truck Manufacturers Association.

AT&T Navigator Becomes First Turn-by-Turn Nav App for the iPhone (Edmunds Daily)  Gee, one device will enable you to get busted for inputting a POI, texting and talking on the cell.

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 26, 2009 5:30 am) Do you have a pre-07 or do you have "lockpick?" Toyota got in a spot of trouble for that "diagnostic mode" and its gone now. I think you need to have a USB key or something in the back to make that work. The way those lockouts work is it reads the VSS, and that is reasonably easy to interrupt going to the device. The more recent ones pull speed from the GPS itself, which is more of a challenge to defeat.

Replying to: lilengineerboy (Jun 26, 2009 11:45 am) You go into diagnostics and hit over ride. That lets you do anything until you shut the vehicle off. Then you have to do the little ritual. Another complaint. You want to go from San Diego to Phoenix you have to reload the different areas. No inputting an address in Albuquerque and have it take you there. Over all I am not that impressed with NAV. I will not leave home without my AAA maps.
