Something that astounded me was that on the 9-5 nav system (and on a lot of other car models) you can't plot a new course when the car is moving and neither can the passenger!! It's supposed to be a safety feature, but I suspect it has more to do with avoiding expensive lawsuits in the US, if some moron crashes whilst playing with the nav...
Why couldn't they just tie it into the weight sensor in the passenger seat, so that it only locks route plotting when the seat is empty.
