We're talking about the new cars with heater controls on touchscreens (which suck a big bag of dicks by the way, good luck using those fucking things) not the nav system.

^ At my work those screens failing was probably the most prevalent reason for cars being out of service

happened pretty frequently on the newer ford SUVs (Edge/Flex/Exploder) that the heater would get stuck on full blast -- in the middle of June, that's a pretty big problem. No way to really reset it either, the screen would just freeze and be sent back to the dealer

I can still perform search functions or set my routes in my OEM navi unit in my 05 tsx while the car is in motion

Did someone perform a Nav bypass on it?

Because I have a 2005 Escalade which locks you out, and I know for a fact that my friends 05 Acura RL locks out as well. You can't enter letters while going faster than like 5mph

Not during my ownership. I got the car used from North Shore Auto Mall, I was told the previous owner was an old couple moving into an old folks home.

I work for a dealer as well. almost never had a screen give us an issue with controls, etc. We've had 1 break down in the last year. And even it was intermittent, and the car was 5 years old.

Both my cars work fine when the car is in motion. My friend's Merc on the other hand locks him out when he's driving.
