Unresponsive Nav Touchscreen

There is a way to defect the lockout if you are really into DIY.
I will refer you to it if you are up to it.
P.S. only for people who can assembly a simple circuit board with one 555 IC (timer) and some capacitors and resistors.

Thanks but I'll pass. I don't really need the nav. But Mazda forces it as part of the package I need, which is just the power liftgate. My 5 year old Tomtom GO 700 has better screen resolution than that of the Mazda. Also, it is more user friendly and intuitive. But having the chance to use it on a recent 1600 miles RT, it does have an advantage over my Tomtom. When I have a route planned, it shows me upcoming gas stations, food and ATM machine. I found it useful to plan for bathroom break :) Why stop now, when there's another one 8 miles down the road and see how long I can stretch it out.

Also, I have the iPhone as well since one of the places we went was just built up 2 years ago or so. Wasn't on the DVD nav nor on my Tomtom obviously. iPhone Google Maps directed me. Good thing for 3G :)
