Nav access while in motion (Passenger bypass)

[johndenver]

So ive noticed if i have a passenger, most of the time, when you try to type somthing in the nav while in motion, a bypass button comes up that lets you enter stuff using the keyboard.

Does anyone know how this works? Is there a simple seat sensor that can be bypassed?

I cant belive ford still locks out the keyboard, tesla and others do not.

its a safety feature. Just use voice command while in motion.

The voice command never finds places, need to enable type in motion....

I guess if no one knows, ill start looking into how the seat sensor works....

Definitely need to bypass the sensor.

Safety feature, Toyota doesn't allow it while the vehicle is in motion. Not even for the passenger.

That seat sensor likely also controls the airbag, seatbelt warnings, and other safety features. Bypassing it wouldn’t be prudent.

“Tesla allows this” is about the worst possible thing you can say in a safety argument.

To activate the motion bypass: for 15 seconds firmly press on the left-side foot pedal. Hold down until the screen allows you to type.

Update, successfully have the seat sensor bypass working.
