Default Navigation while in motion?

Does anyone know the codes to enable destination entry in the navigation system while in motion? I have a 2010 xfr

any other worthwhile unlocks i should know about would be appreciated

Sorry if this was covered somewhere else.

I think that you have to buy a Bentley to avoid this... (they don't enforce this kind of thing at all)

My range rover has the same restriction but my 2007 audi s6 didn't - just a warning message to not drive while distracted then you could do whatever you wanted. I dont see how a quick POI search is any more distracting than the 20 steps to find music on your ipod but I digress
I like a challenge so Ill try to read through the service tech code manual and see if i can track down the one enforcing this setting. More to come

I was under the impression that this was hard-coded into the Nav system. Its the one massive gripe that I have with my car (2011 XFR). Should a bypass become available, I'd pay good money for it...

My XF 12MY allows you to enter destination while in motion. Just have to press "yes" to the safety notification agreement.

Same in my 2012 XF. I have used voice control to set nav while driving.

The 2012+ models are running different software than those previous as far as I know. The interface is slightly faster and looks different... and they removed the need to be stationary to input nav destinations.

I know it's possible on my 07 lr3, if I'm not mistaken the hardware and software are identical. Unfortunately I can't find the thread discussing this.....

I've got an MY12, and it is not possible to enter destinations about 5kmh. No voice control here, so it might be different elsewhere.

(In Australia, we are pretty tough on these things, yet I cannot fathom why it is not possible to tap a phone screen, but perfectly okay to tap through a complex playlist of music, or adjust the climate control).
