But I am not aware of any way to do that short of putting ALL the controls in the back seat right armrest perhaps.

The system already knows if someone's sitting in the passenger side, so in theory it's 1/2way there. It now only needs to know if the person inputting info is the passenger or not.

Why dont you put your wife's phone number in the speed dial? That's accessible whether you're moving or not.

If you already know the address, you can input it using voice recognition. it's accurate 99% of the time in my case. It messes up when I say "Redmond" and it thinks I say "Renton", but i just simply correct it. Besides, wouldn't you want to be stopped anyway when inputting addresses? I know in my previous car where I could input addresses while moving, I would end up passing several key intersections because i was driving "blindly" while inputting an address, only to have the NAV keep recalculating until I got on a street that was part of the route.
Again, I too miss the ability to input info while in motion. I'm simply saying that you don't necessary lose that ability with 6.1 -- you simply have to use the voice recognition option.
