Is it possible to disable access to the navigation on the screen in the bronco (wildtrak)? Wondering if there is a way to disable GPS without disabling access to the rest of the screen. Took it to a dealer and they weren't sure/have never had anyone request this. I'm in a multi-day driving and navigation event this Oct. Teams are not allowed to have any GPS or internet enabled device nor any radio, cell or similar communication device. Only compasses, maps, and road books to be used. As part of our technical inspection, if access to the navigation cannot be disabled from the screen, they will cover the entire screen, which would not be ideal since we would still want to be able to use cameras, have access to owner's manual, etc. Thanks

You can try turning off all connected vehicle features… you might be able to shut the Nav off that way? It does give you warnings that they are tied somehow

You can pull the telecommunication fuse and that might do it? It might still display a "map" but no services associated with it.
