Is There a Voice Command to Change the Center Display?
Is there a voice command to change the Center Display? For example, when the Map is displayed, I'd like to be able to say "Show Audio" or "Change the Center Display to Audio," but these commands don't work. I realize that I can do a split screen, but is there a voice command for that? It would be easier, and safer, to do these things by voice.

Good question but there are hard buttons right there for radio, media, map etc.

Not trying to hijack the thread but this is related; I was using the navigation system yesterday and when I got near my destination I knew the rest of the way. So I wanted to stop the voice indicating turns, etc but didn't know how. I looked through settings, navigation menu, and anything else I could find without luck... In desperation I said "cancel navigation". Now most of you out there might have already knew that but I didn't and some others probably don't either... Well it worked and she said "route guidance canceled" and then "are you sure you know the way?". No, actually she didn't say that...JK,JK... Cancel navigation did work though...

i like to toggle back and forth between the map and full screen audio. When I'm on the audio, I can just hit the map button or the go back button. But when I'm on the map, the only way to get back to audio is to hit the menu button and use the touch pad to select audio. I don't know why the go back button doesn't work once you go to map. Logically, it seems you should just be able to keep hitting the go back button to toggle between map and audio.

LOL You are absolutely right!!! Unfortunately, logic has little to do with it. I love my car and really like Lexus, I will buy more, if I have the need or opportunity. But innovation and logic are NOT among the things they do best. Or well. We've had 6 Lexus (Lexi?) over 10 years. I can't tell you how many times I've asked myself "Who thought THAT would be a good idea, and why?".

Thanks. I'd forgotten about those button. But they change the input source. I want to change the display without changing the input source.

If you are listening to the radio (AM/FM/Sat) and you push the Radio button, the display will pop up and NOT change the source. But if you hit Media, it will change the source from your current radio selection to one of the media inputs, like Slacker, iHeart radio, etc.
Similarly, if you are listening to a media source (such as Slacker or Bluetooth) and hit the Media switch, it will pull up the display without changing the source, but if you hit the Radio switch, it'll move you over to a radio source (AM/FM/Sat).
I hope I explained this well. Try this on your ES and see if it works as it does in my GS.

I share your frustration with the Media and Radio switches, assuming they function in your ES like they do in my GS. But I think I finally have this issue figured out.
