Is there anyway to disable voice command confirmations?
I feel the extra step to 'confirm' your command defeats the whole purpose of making things faster and easier with voice recognition.
me - "warmer"
car - "warmer?"
me - "yes"
car- "yes"
any way to disable it?
me - "warmer"
that's it.

And why is that, exactly? I'm running out of patience with their design methodology that makes it impossible to do firmware/software updates on the technology. The skeptic in me says they are doing that to encourage frequent purchases to get the 'new stuff' but there is a risk when you use coercive measures. Not only it frustrating, but it is seriously inhibiting the advancement of the technology which is emerging as an important factor in brand selection. I expect regular and frequent updates should be downloaded to my car as improvements are made and bugs fixed.

Your frustration is shared by a LOT of people on this forum....and has been expressed for a long time. Lexus has heard, but has chosen not to change their approach.
The sad truth is that there is no car maker I know of who is better in that regard., with the lone exception of the Tesla (out of most folks' price range).

And Lexus needs to step up their informatics game a lot.

I wish there was a way to disable the prompt!
The voice recognition is absolutely terrible on this car! My 3G Acura TL is much better! But then again the 5G acura TLX has a poor implementation as well!
Two steps forward and one back, as they implement new hardware that can now do xyz well, but doesn't handle abc well ??

You can disable the introduction stage in settings, but you can't disable the confirmation. I agree that it is very annoying.

Yes, I say "call home" and it asks me which track I want to play. I have no accent.
Side note... not nearly as bad as American Home Sheild's voice recognition. It asked me what the problem was. I said "toilet". It came back with "boiler". I said "plumbing" and it came back again with something entirely different.

[QUOTE=Well this ain't Siri or Google so can't expect it to work like that.[/QUOTE]
I know! ... and yet, there Google and Siri are; ready for implementation. But instead, car manufacturers insist on reinventing the wheel... and we know how long it took to perfect that.
I'll predict that when one of the manufacturers learn how to do this (VR, user updatable firmware and software, Wi-Fi integration for diagnostics, performance reporting, and configuration change) they will have an opportunity to rule the world... for a short time until their competitors make a similar investment.
I've heard that one of the impediments to advancement in this area is the heavy government regulations around everything automotive. Probably some truth to that, but like most things impeded by regulations, it merely increases the price tag.

True, even when it works voice commands just take longer and usually doesnt recognize half the things I am asking for... just getting me frustrated and distracted from the task at hand - DRIVING...
Not why I bought the car though anyhow, and I certainly wouldnt trade it in for a car that I could chat with!!

Once they implement the iOS in the car / Apple CarPlay, that'll change the whole game. We're talking advance voice commands, unlimited map updates, more apps, etc. Another reason to wait for the next gens.
