We get out Salsa #9 this week and plan a trip West in August. My son will drive and I'll run the nav and phone systems, so I don't want to be 'locked out' of any functions while the car is moving. I remember a post about defeating this lock-out feature (a purple wire, I believe) but now I can't find the info on this. Can anyone out there help me out on this?

I haven't even heard discussion about this. If it is possible, I want to know too.
I absolutely understand the logic behind making it a safety feature, but there's no reason they can't link it somehow to the passenger seat belt sensor...

It can be done, but maybe not via passenger sensing.

Thanks for the link to the elusive purple (violet) wire. I also thought that you could access it from somewhere other than under the dash. Have been driving our Salsa #9 for a week now and really love it!
