    @Bushwalker8,

    This is all about safety on the road.
    I have never screwed around with my GPS while driving.
    Nor do I screw around with my smartphone.
    Regardless if there is someone sitting next to me or not that can change something on my GPS it is not done.

    You can drive the way you like and the chances you even have one of these DriveSmart 51LMTHD (Enterprise Rental Edition) is next to none.
    It is a model that was put out for rental companies, police and emergency vehicles in the US for the sole reason of safety.

    Again it had nothing to do with anyone cracking this Restricted Mode but safety.

    But I do like that you seem to have a profound habit about chasing me around this forum and disliking anything I post.
    A big hug for your concerns......

    You have a nice day and drive safe and watch out for those who can not keep their fingers from the GPS Units they might just cause an accident........

    PS:

    For everyone this has been tried back in 2nd February 2021, 02:35 PM to 22nd September 2022, 06:03 PM and as of yet no one has been able to crack it on another forum.

    Many user's got in the act and came up with not being able to turn off Restricted Mode. Some of the users said they can live with this Restricted Mode because the GPS works with no problems at all have the Restricted Mode on.....

    You are still missing the basic point, Garmin provides every other standard, normal, common, garden variety Nuvi out there with the menu option to disable Restricted Mode. There's nothing special about having this option, it's ubiquitous. Everywhere, almost all of them. Many thousands.

    Heaven forbid, Garmin even provided some models such as the GVN53 with a REMOTE CONTROL to operate them in the vehicle, along with the same menu option to turn off what it calls "Safe Mode" while they were enthusiastically waved about.

    And newer hybrid devices are also road capable and have vehicle mounting brackets available...but don't have restricted mode at all. For example my 66i, there are many others.

    If you are obsessed about passengers unwelcome advances on your private device that's your private business but is of little interest to anyone else here. If you are really concerned about safety then maybe better to redirect the soapbox away from here to Garmin: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
