#1 of 13 How to suppress the GM Navigation system caution screen by tonyski Jan 07, 2007 (3:51 am)
Greetings all. I'm a Newbee here. I have a 2007 Tahoe LTZ with the factory DVD/Navigation system. It causes a "Caution Screen" to display on the LCD to warn me about the perils of paying too much attention to the nav display while driving.   Well "OK I Get It". Now, is there any way to stop this screen from popping up every time I'm in the car? I can't find it anywhere in the owner's manual. I'm guessing there might be some undocumented feature that will let me cancel this.   Your help will be appreciated.   Tony Replies to this message: coerich1 (Oct 24, 2007 3:22 pm) valvestud (Oct 25, 2007 6:22 pm) tedebear (Nov 02, 2007 7:09 pm) coerich1 (Nov 13, 2007 3:08 pm)

Replying to: tonyski (Jan 07, 2007 3:51 am) I'd like to know the answer to this as well. What a pain to have to hit the OK button every time I start the car. I searched for the solution and this is the only match so far. Everything's about CYA (cover your a__) these days. Why else would GM not make it easy to disable that screen. Jeez, GM's a bunch of wimps, and lawyers made them that way.

Replying to: valvestud (Oct 25, 2007 6:22 pm) I recently bought a Chrysler vehicle with a similar warning screen in the factory installed GPS nav. I had to press the "Accept" button every time when I first started the car.   A software update fixed the problem. Although the warning still pops up it goes away by itself after 5 seconds or so.   Perhaps the next GM nav update will solve this problem. Replies to this message: coerich1 (Nov 13, 2007 3:08 pm)

Replying to: tedebear (Nov 02, 2007 7:09 pm) Good to hear about the 5 second caution screen - I could live with that. Just hope GM catches on to the idea. Since I usually end up driving before I hit the OK button guess what?...My eyes are off the road. Usually end up latching my seat belt after I take off, too - guess I'll have to change my evil ways.   Maybe a programmer will get get interested and figure a workaround and post the solution. Meanwhile I'll just keep pressing that button...
#7 of 13 Turn off Driver Safety in 08 Chevrolet Suburban Navigation by jefglass Jan 03, 2008 (2:49 pm)
I've got an '08 Suburban with Nav and XM. When the car is moving, certain touch screen sections are disabled for driver safety. I noticed in the manual that you should be able to disable this, however this preference does not show on my screen. Any ideas how to turn off the "driver safety" feature?   On long trips across interstates, the inability to use the touchscreen is very frustrating.   Thanks.

Replying to: jefglass (Jan 03, 2008 2:49 pm) I share your frustration and am interested in any replies. I do have another question for you: I'm troubleshooting CD/DVD read errors in my '05, and would like to borrow your nav DVD. Be a friend and either burn a copy or bring it with you to Wichita next week. I'll buy you a beer. Replies to this message: andy47 (Feb 24, 2008 7:40 pm)

#10 of 13 Using Nav screens while in motion by mparker59 Feb 26, 2008 (8:41 am)
While researching Bluetooth kits I found a couple that also allow use of the nav screens while in motion. They also allow you to watch DVDs while in motion (hmmm...) and to turn on the rear view camera while in motion. I'm not sure, but it wouldn;t surprise me if they also got rid of the annoying safety message on startup.
