No Fords but good to know I guess! I do agree its kinda crazy that they wont let a passenger do the work, but there is no real way to make sure its ONLY the passenger doing it.
Plus now a lot more cars are angling the screens and controls at the driver, so its pretty clear a passenger cant really do the input anyway.
If they would make voice recognition control better than it was, it would be a non issue. All of my vehicles hear my voice correctly, but you have to go through so many steps to "enter" anything, its a waste.
