^^unlikely. all of the redesigns (RDX and ILX) have locked out the navi while the car is in drive. i'm not sure if the other 2013's have locked out the navi.
while i have driven the new RLX, i didn't really play with the navi to see if it was locked out or not. i believe that acura is moving towards locking the navi out while driving as a "safety" feature. of course, you know someone will find a way to hack it.

Not all features are locked out. Some are still available by voice command. This is from the 2013 RDX Navigation manual. Not saying this is how the RLX will work but it is probably similar...

I wonder if the RLX, as a flagship, will be free of such limitations. I know it's a selling point for BMW and Audi (though they offer HUDs, to help counter-balance navi use on the go).

It is annoying, yes, however if you use the simple voice commands instead, it is more useful in every way anyway. This is the right work around, for now.
The RLX uses the next gen of system further beyond that of the ILX/RDX with 3D view, etc., but the same kind of locks.
#7
Ah, maybe the voice commands will be like the germans, as well? Just say the address, or google search the place name via voice, rather than parsing it piece-by-piece? Or is that going to fully rely on Acuralink (like how Lexus is doing it)?

Navi - one letter at a time
Folks,
I have owned many an Acura as well as an Audi A6. Audi is light years beyond Acura when it comes to "free speech" entry for addresses, points of interest, etc.
I drove the new RLX the other day and was hopeful, but alas...still one letter at a time for most of the entry. Example, my address = speech for city (great), street = one letter at a time with press the button each time, number = one number at a time with press the button each time. What a drag, disappointing.
That being said, I didn't work at it too hard. Hope I am wrong and more tuning of the system is forthecoming. I still have hopes.
Ordered my Pom RLX Advance and it should arrive 01 July. Will keep you posted. Still a better price point than a new Audi A6 comparably equiped.
