There's voice recognition feature in the GS??! 
Seriously though, it's been a year since I had my 2007 GS450h, and I've pretty much forgotten that there's voice recognition in this car. The reason is that it's so bad that I consider it to be completely unusable. After you had the car for a couple of months, you will forget it's there too...

I agree... It's easier to use my finger.. and more accurate. I was mostly wondering about the phone features...dial by number...etc. In the ES loaner I'm using...the voice recognition for dial by number is actually pretty impressive. I haven't tried the commands on my GS yet (mostly because it's in the shop and I can't get to it..) but I was just wondering if they'd changed with the new upgrade to the Nav.

I use voice commands and think it's pretty darn good. I've tried entering addresses for the NAV and it works but it's slow, so I don't use that much. But I use "Call Home" or "Go Home" and things like that and it works great.

But can anyone do the "Call Home" with the 06? or is that an 07 feature?

In my SHORT experience the Voice commands work fine BUT you have to realize as expected that it ONLY responds to the FEW words it knows
find and print the PDF files that list the allowed commands and use them
It CANT interpret or recognize any variation of those words or synonyms or anything else
When I say the words in its vocabulary and there is no noise or other complication it works over 80 % of the time
I expect that will increase as I get better with it

I guess I'll try one last time... are there any "06" owners who can do the 'dial by number' or say, 'call home' with their bluetooth? My GS seems to have raido, nav and climate voice controlls only. Anytime I try to use a voice command for the phone... I get nothing.
