u would have to do it everytime u start the vehicle. goto dvd version screen.
Tap upper left corner then upper right corner (over the dvd tab) and then back to left corner again then bottom left and upper left again and diagnostic screen should show up.. on the diagnostic screen.. press and hold set tab untill it changes color.. then click ok and map screen.. there u go.

yes every time you start the car it has to be done.. i only do it when i know i have to go look for diff places... other way is to actually buy a hardware/adapter which plugs at the back of ur navigation player..coasteltech sells them that will bypass the i agree button as well as let you input stuff while ur driving.
