How to bypass safety on NAV & DVD ?

I recently read the NHTSA'a report that 80% of crashes are caused by distracted/inattentive driving.
Since people can't be trusted to drive safely, why should they be given ANY opportunity to endanger my life or the lives of my family and friends?
If they would only kill themselves or their family and friends, I wouldn't care (hell, I'd nominate them for a Darwin Award).

uh.. no. As I said in my first post:
I get what you're saying but I can definitely understand the desire to defeat the lockout.

I think is ridiculous to have to stop your vehicle to query the navigation feature. It's no different than using a Thomas Guide, road map or atlas to navigate with. You either pull over and look for yourself, or stay on the road and have your front seat passenger act as navigator. I'm glad I have a Garmin instead, and can make that choice.

I was having a great day until some idiot started talking about endangering others on the road by wanting to use thier navigation system which is locked out during driving for a very good reason by the manufacturer. So by all means, don't reply to any of my posts as I deal with ignorant, stupid and dangerous people all day over here in Iraq. I don't need or want to deal with another one now.
This is for all the halfway intelligent people who will read this... If you use your nav while driving or text while driving you are a moron and should be arrested for attempted manslaughter. If you were considering "unlocking" your sytem, I would hope you think about the people on the road that you WILL put at risk and reconsider.

Do I really have to explain the problem to you?

Look people, along with the right to operate an automobile in the US comes a lot of responsibility. The government can't be expected to think for you by listing all of the 'nots' to do while driving. Just PAY ATTENTION. It's that simple.
Why don't we ban cell phones, radios, talking, cleavage, great-looking cars, reading materials, sneezing, any movement by passengers, eating or drinking, billboards? They can all be distractions while we're driving. It's because we all in our big boy pants now and can think for ourselves. How bout locking down the climate control while the vehicle is in motion so the driver isn't fiddling with that? It's a slippery slope.
I simply want my passenger to be able to operate the nav while I'm driving. Don't start calling people axe murderers, etc because they don't need a law to tell them how to act responsibly.
We live in a free country... let's keep it that way!

I'm surprised you or your family ever go out on public roads "since people can't be trusted to drive safely".

I am definately not a supporter of the "nanny state". I do, however believe that government needs to enforce laws which stop drivers from being distracted... If I can't kick the crap outta someone on the side of the road for hitting me while messing with thier stupid little toy (nav), then I want a cop to hammer them.

Ill Go Slow and Explain This To You k?
OK.........In a world that always seems to have a Logical or should I say Illogical Progression to things.....Ill go slow!
First
The reason Ford and Other Manufactures dont allow watching DVDs or anything more than necessary is: LAWSUITS...........Lawyers would love to sue anyone for a Zillion $ if they could prove Manufactures were negligent in any way.........especially drivers not paying attention!
Second
The excuse is that its for my "Passenger" is just that an EXCUSE....We all know where that will lead up to:......Im sure a driver would Never watch the movie playing while driving across the Desert in Arizona.?
Third
Would YOU want one of your Family members injured by some TEENAGER watching a movie or worse ****.....who probably has the lowest Insurance coverage available .....so caring for your Injured Family member for the rest of His/Her life should be fully funded by the Insurance!
Fourth
Maybe your Kids could watch the hardcore **** in the Teenagers car beside you while sitting in Freeway Traffic. ....Im sure He will turn it off if you ask politely?
Fifth
Maybe the Lockpick Co. could install a PS3 or Xbox feature and have the steering wheel buttons control the joystick......what a novel Idea?
Im going to speak to that Stephen guy in Baghdad and see if he will go halfers with me on a bus pass for you as you shouldnt be on the road anyway?.....While Im waiting for His reply.......Isnt the 'Tea Party" rolling through your Town about now.........Your late for the meeting!

Apparently we do need laws to stop people from doing these things while driving because thousands die every day because other people think they should be allowed to think for themselves because "it won't happen to me". If the navigation in a vehicle is operable while driving, it is just one more thing to distract you, added to the others you mentioned. Too many people will be tempted to use it themselves while driving alone. Don't say that won't happen. You are a fool if you believe otherwise.

How about mandating much more driver training and education before someone can obtain a driver's license? How about making someone pass an intense screening (psych/phys) prior to getting behind the wheel? How about making the minimum driving age 25 since most of those at fault are below this age?

First of all my Honda Odyssey has a fully functioning nav system while driving. I guess they failed to see all those lawyers coming!
And where did this obsession with **** come from, nutjob?
This is the whole problem with our society today... people like you who don't believe in any sense of self-accountability!

Im a Liberal...Oh Well?
Ive been called worse.....
Believe it or not ......People watch ****!
Like I said.....what if one of your Family members became a "vegatable" and some teenager had the lowest Insurance possible?......guess thats your problem then...........
How many times have members of this forum seen teenagers texting or doing other stupid things when driving?.......
After something serious happens......People look for ANY excuse to blame others for their stupidity......thats what our society has become...?
Lets change our flags now to include the "hammer and sickle" ?......it would fit nicely in the top left corner of your flag.....but we can get rid of the maple leaf and put it dead center on our flag....
Sorry Mods...........Ill stop myself now outta respect for this forum and other members who can positively contribute.
