Well, you don't have to update the softwre/MBUX in order to continue to do it.

>Description of the Safety Risk: In this case, several functions and applications (e.g. TV, digital owner's manual) would not be disabled while driving, as intended. This would allow vehicle occupants to activate those functions while the vehicle is driving. If an occupant were to actively select the function or application while the vehicle is driving, then driver distraction might result which could increase the risk of a crash.
