I'm interested in buying the n4 but read somwhere that the parking brake must be engaged to enter an address. Is this true? And if so, is there a way to disable that feature?

Not only must the parking brake signal be "on", but if the unit detects movement it will blank out the choices until you stop again. So even if you just bulled "1-click" of parking brake, you still can't use all of the features of the system if you are moving. You can thank the lawyers for that one!
The bypass will allow you to use the system even while in motion.
