The navigation system in my Saab 9-5 cannot be used (programmed) while
driving.  I find this very annoying as not even a passenger can start
or change a route that was put in, nor look up a hotel or restaurant
while driving.

I have talked this over with the dealer, and they are not aware of any
trick to disable this 'security feature'.

I am SURE there must be a way to disable this annoying restriction -
either by Saab technicians with the right tools, or probably even by
anybody who knows about a certain secret key sequence on the unit.

The car is a 2005 model 9-5 Estate, produced for the Belgian market. 
I believe the navigation unit is supplied to Saab by Denso.

Question:  How can I use the GPS navigation unit in my Saab 9-5 while
the car is moving, effectively bypassing the default configuration
that disables the controls of the unit while driving faster than 5
km/hr ?

There is no answer at this time.

I too have the same problem. Also, if anyone can search a basic
business name like Best Buy, or Circuit City, please let me know
too... BTW: This is the worst GPS availble. It is 7 years behind in
technology. A total rip off. Save your money and purchase an after
market. - AKAK

Have you find a solution yet for this annoying problem ?
Really can't imagine it can't be bypassed... ( as my dealer pretend..)
