Question for factory navigation users
Could you let me know what features can be used while vehicle is in motion? I am comparing aftermarket nav systems to factory and would like to hear any thoughts about the factory system, before I make the purchase. I am referring to an 07 year model if that makes a difference.
Thanks
Thanks

I think factory Nav's do not allow you to enter your destination while moving..
I have an aftermarket and can as long as certain wires are hooked up correctly, but I believe thats how the factory ones work.

I am in the same situation. I want Navigation, and I am debating on the Factory or a complete Aftermarkek system such as the Pioneer AVIC or Kenwood.
Does anyone know if the Factory Nav will allow the use of a back up camera?
This is a must for me.
Thanks,
MC

The factory nav setup in my '07 F-150 does not allow me to enter addresses while the vehicle is moving. I do not have a back up camera and am not sure if the system can accommodate it. If I had to do it over again, I'd buy an aftermarket system for sure.

Love the Brandmotion unit. No problems with the vehicle in motion.I always get a laugh when the female voice says"When it's safe,perform a LEGAL u-turn".
You can purchase the unit on E-bay for as low as $350.00.
