Default Is there a way to override the Nav to allow input while driving?

As the title states, is it possible to override the Nav and allow you to input addresses while driving?

Thanks.

yes, you can either call destination assist where an operator will take your call and input your address, or you can use Bing and speak the location or name of what your trying to find
or you can simply use the voice command saying the complete address, city and state in a continuous phrase and the navigation will think for a moment and repeat back the address or possibilities it thought you said.

in other words, no. I never want to use destination assist and the voice commands in this car are terrible. I've tried a dozen times to either bing or just use voice commands right into the nav menus and it's never actually worked.

From what I understood the only IS that had this was the 06 IS, then it was removed on the next update.
