Has anyone figured out how to defeat the UConnect lockout when the vehicle is in motion? I know some people suggest using voice commands, but that is not the solution I'm looking for.

For navigation I used my cell phone and the unconnect app. You can enter an address etc. in your phone and send it to the car. I did that frequently with my WK2 Trailhawk, so I assume we will get that ability with the JLUR. There there is also always android auto and the similar for apple.Has anyone figured out how to defeat the UConnect lockout when the vehicle is in motion?

Same here, I don’t recommend messing with the head unit, it’s connected to the canbus, and cause all sorts of issues (steering and brakes, and throttle controlled electronically.)I'm always loathe to start hacking into the factory wiring because you never know what sort of can of worms you're going to open up with the CAN-BUS system.
There are companies out there that make a "lock pick" type device that is supposed to be plug and play and opens up a lot of functionality with the radio's like nav and video and motion or adding additional camera(s).
Yes, there’s a button for the back up camera while driving. You don’t need to be going slow though. I’ve used it on the freeway. It only stays on for a short time though. Maybe 5-10 seconds.Same here, I don’t recommend messing with the head unit, it’s connected to the canbus, and cause all sorts of issues (steering and brakes, and throttle controlled electronically.)
In my WK2 Trailhawk, there was a button to turn on backup camera while moving slow in off-road pages. So you could have it on while moving forward. Maybe we will have same option in JL?
yes, it does...and the MINI Tazer seems to be a better option, wont hang out. I didnt really want to drop $300 just for this, wasn;t sure if cheaper alternativesI thought the Tazer allowed you to do this as one of its options. You had to leave it plugged in all the time.
Yup, a great feature and I use it a lot when pulling a trailer. I just wish it would stay on indefinitely to be used like a unobstructed rearview mirror. It'd be nice to just glance at the screen rather than having to push the button first, which is more distracting than leaving it on.Yes, there’s a button for the back up camera while driving.

Tazer allows it to stay on indefinitely.Yup, a great feature and I use it a lot when pulling a trailer. I just wish it would stay on indefinitely to be used like a unobstructed rearview mirror.

The items I have change using the Tazer: Navigation on while in motion, seat belt chimes off, ESS turned off, lockers locked while in 4WD high, changed the settings for the headlights to led, changed the directional signals to LED, turned on the AUX switches after I installed them and last changed tire size for larger tires.Well crap there goes $330. I'm assuming it's the Tazer JL, or not the JL Lite?
For the Navin motion defeat, does it reboot your system every time you start the vehicle? I read in the release notes that occasionally a reboot of the system, the Uconnect system will rebootThe items I have change using the Tazer: Navigation on while in motion, seat belt chimes off, ESS turned off, lockers locked while in 4WD high, changed the settings for the headlights to led, changed the directional signals to LED, turned on the AUX switches after I installed them and last changed tire size for larger tires.
It is a handy tool if you are inclined to fool around with your Jeep.
