One of the worst things about the TCH (w/Nav)
So the Navigation system locks out when the car is in motion. Yes, pain in the arse, but it is a known issue. I wish it didn’t - I’d pay Toyota and extra $1,000 to be able to turn this off (not through some janky hack).
But the WORST thing…they disable being able to navigate a MP3 disc while in motion! You can’t browse the folders or files. (You can only blindly switch folders).
And of course, you can get to the screens via voice command (which can compensate (weakly) for the Nav portion being locked while in motion.
There is no reason to lock this, a.) it’s not the same distraction as typing stuff in to a map/browsing the POI, b.) it’s entirely reasonable to want to browse a Ṃ while in motion (by you or passenger) and c.) there is no work-around! (not integrated into voice command system).
Toyota design / quality control really missed it on this.
Argh…I really wish they would have put some thought into it before that try to save us from ourselves.
