Default GPS touch screen safety

Just bought a 2010 grand cherokee. Was trying to use the inboard GPS, but when the jeep is moving, some of the touchscreen options are disabled, even for someone in the passenger seat. Is there any way to bypass this? Thanks

you can temporarily unplug the antenna, if the plug is accessible. otherwise, i don't think there is a way within the program.
