Default HTC Incredible phone - staying connected

Proud new owner of two 2010 IS 250 AWDs with NAV. Question about the phone:
I am able to connect my Droid Incredible, but off and on, the dialpad grays out so I can not dial by number or by contact. The phone is still connected, however, because when I push the connect button, it asks if I want to disconnect.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Is the vehicle in motion or is it stopped when you see the gray out? Welcome aboard also, 2 2010 IS's huh? Congrats

They grey out when ever the car is in motion. It is a pain in the ***. you have to pull over and make your changes, dial a number or do anything associated with the nav. You can however in motion navigate your phone and make the call that way.

without the nav hack, and with the car in motion, you can:

1. use 1 of the 15 preset speed dials,
2. dial by voice. it may be a pain to speak out 10 numbers, and assuming you remember the phone number.
3. dial using your HTC - the sound will still go thru the speakers and mic in the car.

You may also dial by name ex. " Call Bob" Works for me. I am one of the few people that the gray out does not bother. I still think users should have an option to disable it though.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the quick responses. Weird, because as I was driving, sometimes the dialpad would show. Where do you find the NAV hack?
