The system requires us to come to a complete stop in order to enter an address. Sure, it's for safety blah blah blah. I think it sucks when i gotta exit the highway and stop to feed the navi the info. Anyway to override it...?

i think you can put the info by using the voice command instead of the buttons while driving...not sure abt this but try it.

^^^I'll give it a shot, thanks!!

That's correct. Why would you do it any other way?

Press voice button
>Navigation [if you're not already there]

Press voice button
>Enter destination
Address or town?
>Town
Enter street name
>Main street
Enter street number
>123
Start route guidance?
>Yes

But why could not it be setup so the passenger could do it?

gravedgr

It can - just have the driver press the voice command button, and the passenger can speak all the directions.

I didnt know how to enter a destination so I just started pushing and talking and I think it took me a couple times and I got it in there. I was pretty happy.
ALot easier than the IDrive on my wifes 335i.

Another real easy way is to go to Google maps or yahoo maps, enter where you need to go and then go to top right send pull down menu and hit send to car. At this point you will need to fill in your email address (Tel Aide will need to have your email address, which should have been done during your initial Tel Aide setup) OK so now you have sent it, it will then reply send finished. When you get into your car you just need to hit the " i " button in your car. It then will retrieve what you emailed earlier(BTW you can setup multiple location on separate emails at one time real cool). The GPS will ask you to except say Yes and you're on your way... I hope this helps, I thought it was a cool feature, I used it its GREAT!!!!

I automatically assumed i would never use the voice command cause of how rubbish they've been in the past. The one we have is tremendous. No errors at all even with my windows open.

Emailing myself the address to the car is the iceing on the cake.

I agree 1K %

So much to learn so little time to do it....

do we have the Tele-Aid option here in the U.S.? I vaguely remember talking about it at the dealer's... too late for me now?

Yes...I think you have 30 days after purchase to add it.

I thought the hardware was manufacturing site installed?

You can instal and begin service with teleaid at any time...

With the C-Class however, teleaid is not a standard option from the factory

Doesn't make sense if all the other cars have it.
