Not only can it be disabled but there are tons of other options, even digital gauges. You will now be able to enter an address, POI, etc while driving. Please be safe, I am not liable for any actions you take!

(PICTURES BELOW)
1. Turn on unit, making sure a GPS signal is acquired.
2. Push the HARD nav button, then go to your address book, select an exiting address you do not care about and then press the SOFT edit button.
3. Clear the name of the saved address and replace with F-DEVELOP ON, note the space is necessary.
4. In the upper left corner is the word ADDRESS, press and hold directly below the "A" - the screen should change back to the map (Do this verses hitting back or exit).
5. Press the HARD menu button, then select SECURITY tab.
6. Once into the security section, press and hold the lower rightmost corner, this will take you into the "hidden" menu.
7. Look for the menu option "DRIVING RESTRICTIONS", press it and the value should change to STOP, you can now exit by hitting the back button.

NOTE: You may have to perform steps 5, 6, & 7 after restarting vehicle, I will look into a way around this, but if you know you are going to be traveling to somewhere unfamiliar it takes less than 30 seconds to do and is well worth it. I think it can be done on the fly too.

The only other thing I know to do would be to put in a switch to bypass as needed the speed sensor, and not even sure that is possible.







These were options I jotted down after doing this, but there are probably more once you dig into it.
