Default Does touch screen work while driving?

I was in the 5/19 TPW and finally after 8 months since my order, I'm getting my car tomorrow

I have a passenger going with me for the road trip to pick it up. I was wondering, does the infotainment and various other gadgets and car settings work while driving?

Not because I want to (since that would be distracting) but I thought instead of fidgeting with things for an hour at the dealership we could head out and my passenger could poke around in them as I drive.

Like the C6, the nav cannot be set while driving. Even by the passenger. Everything else on the touch screen works normally, however.

You sure?

Seems I have selected a destination by voice when driving. Also seems when my wife is in the car, and she presses accept, she can with touch screen inter a destination on the Nav

Right, but you can't scroll down menus, try to enter a place by typing it, etc.

My problem is my voice is low pitched so I get lots of errors with the voice commands.
