Test drove a new max

So I just came back from testing a new max, KH3, Sport & Tech Packages. The car was perfect but I noticed that one was able to control the Nav functions while driving! Now I KNOW that's not normal! And this was a car that arrived at the dealership im my presence! Is there an explanation for this or what?

do you mean on the steering wheel the buttons? i actually picked up an 09 today, and yes you can control the navi while driving. you just have to click the ENTER button that you are agreeing you're not suppose to while driving, then the navi comes up.

No! I could actually use the touchscreen to type in an address while driving! It just hit me in the head as soon as I got home that I could do that.

this may sound funny, but were you stopped at a light doing it, or had your foot on the brake? i know when you have the parking brake engaged, you can do a lot of things you cant when the car is actually in motion. i was programming today "stopped" at a light, but havent tried it when i am actually driving.

thanks about the car. best chunk of change ive spent

I was on the freeway while doing this, that's how sure I am.
