    Hi Jon! Same here. Been asking alot of times since i bought this gps March of 2006 at Fry’s Elect. I even spent 3 days straight in Clarion’s website about it. Anything about it but no luck:(

    I just want to solve the issue that I really hate about this unit; slow-thinking with regards to typing. But, if you by chance , have managed to solve this issue any aid will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Jvax
