Changing Navigation While Driving

[East-TN]

Sorry, got called out of town after I asked the question. Anyways, how does FORSCAN make it so, when moving, I can program the navigation system? Does it allow me to reprogram the system so the navigation will accept commands while moving?
And, thanks everyone who helps out on here!

Check out this thread...it will give you a lot of info on FORScan and the changes you can make to your vehicle.

Bottom line is FORScan will allow you to change a setting and allow you to type info into your Navigation while the vehicle is in motion...NOTE the info mentioned in the previous posts of what this change affects to other features.

Thank you, sir. I will check that out.

I do it all the time and I am no genius.
First thing I do is hit voice button on the wheel and say "navigation". Once responded I say "cancel navigation". It asks for confirmation and I say "yes". Now you start all over.
Press voice button and say navigation. If you know where you are going say "find street address" or "find poi". It will prompt you what to say or do. Just follow directions and respond accordingly. Even a 70 yr old coot can do it.

I can't stand that "feature" or the annoying warning every time I start the truck telling me that I have shut it off

??? Never seen this and it's active as far as I can tell on my 2017.

Well, that sounds easy.... I will try this out. Thank you, sir!

Is the key pad active after the "cancel/start over" operation? If not it works by voice without that step. The truck is in my driveway and not moving so I can't try this.

Can it move?

Oh, and for those that might care, the newest Waze now works with CarPlay, and I am loving it!

Perhaps you missed the question:

Try editing the address while in motion with the touch screen. Any motion and the keypad goes away. My wife as passenger, and navigator hated it. At least with CarPlay she can unlock the iphone and type on its screen.

We're (or at least I'm) mixing responses to two different things.

refers to a message to deactivate the 911 system on startup.

Loki -- I missed putting smilies in my response too...

It did not work for me. Never could type as long as moving, no matter the combo of voice commands or order.

Plugged iPhone back in, brought up Waze and continued on my way...

How was it?

With Carplay enabled, Sync never found Waze.

So...it was a big fat zero. What version of Waze do you have? I suppose it would be of value to make sure I have the same version.

Using Waze with Sync 3 (straight USB from IPhone): I'll score that around 82%. Its touch response is sluggish at best, and submitting a report almost never works now. It did when I first started with Waze, so something is different. It may have updated itself at some point...I have no idea.

iPhone has to be on iOS 12, and Waze 4.43.5.0 is the current version.

I agree with you on your assessment of the Sync App integration.

I'll check my versions when I can get access to my phone. Pretty sure I'm not at iOS 12 yet.

12 is where 3rd Party Nav apps become an option. It was released last Monday. I recommend. Speed for older devices is improved.

Updated iOS and Waze, ran a short errand. Sync picked up Waze right away through Carplay. I didn't do much testing, but discovered it had a problem with a Favorite (Home). It said I was 900 feet away, when I was really a couple miles away. The voice interface worked, but it seemed to take too long to respond, like it didn't hear me. Had to wait what felt like 15-20 seconds before it responded in anyway.

Its nice to see the app available through Carplay, instead of that crazy message "WAZE IS RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND ON YOUR PHONE" whenever you do anything with the phone, like use Spotify.
