Default Enform App question about sending nav destination to vehicle

I'm sure you're all sick of me complaining about the nav in the vehicle. but someone mentioned that you can input a navigation destination on your phone and send it to the car nav via the app. I noticed that I can only do this when the app isn't connected to the car. If i bring up the app on my phone while it's connected to the car, it won't let me do anything on the phone.

is there anything i can do to send a nav destination from phone to car while they're both connected?

i want to avoid using the stupid mouse input as much as possible.

Interesting, so you have to be disconnected from the car to do this? Doesn't seem to make much sense. I agree the nav is clunky and SLOW, I have really grown to dislike it.

You do have to disconnect so you can get to the apps..that is on the iOS version anyway. You don't have to disconnect the phone...just the app. then you have to re-connect to sync the address. i guess it would be bothersome if you were pandora or something like that but for the most part, its not much of a hassle.

I know what you mean on how annoying this is. I usually open the App first before turning on Bluetooth and add in the destination i am heading to. Then turn on Bluetooth and open up the enform app on the Nav. Go to saved destinations and it will upload whatever address you had saved.

I am wondering though if the people who have installed the brake override on there Nav's. If they still have to disconnect from Bluetooth to access the enform app while connected.
