Default lexus voice commands

new to lexus voice commands, but is there a quick way to adjust the A/C fan speed?
seems strange to have to take eyes off road to perform 2 clicks to lower a/c fan speed, so is there a quick way to do so.

fyi, only had this 2014 gx460 for few weeks, so maybe I am missing something.

The only climate control voice settings are "Warmer" and "Cooler" which adjusts temperature by increments of 4 degrees.

Pressing 'Climate' and then the 'Fan Speed' barely takes 2-3secs

I just leave mine on auto and I've never had a need or desire to change the fan speed.

It seems to me too, that having to use the Nav screen interface to control the climate fan speed is a bit cumbersome and counter intuitive. There are redundant buttons for radio controls -volume and track selection both on the steering wheel and instrument stack, but not a fan speed adjustment? I was puzzled by this too. I also found it lacking that the passenger side doesn't have a separate fan speed adjustment anywhere...Maybe now I'm missing something
Whether or not it takes a few seconds to adjust it after you learn how to- is inconsequential. There should be at least a voice command for it, but I'd settle for a good old fashioned push button. So far my two week impression of the interface/user controls is tepid at best. This is one example of why.... Just my opinion.

I have watched several videos from this guy that works at Lexus. I have never really been impressed with voice activation on any platform so I tend to stay away from the frustration. Ironically before I watched this video today I decided to play around with the a few days ago and figured I would never go back to it. @3:54 the GX460 comes up and I assume it is at least a 2018 if not 2019 model as he works there.
Also @5:03 he mentions that there is not a button to cancel navigation routing, in my 2011 I use the DEST hard button to bring up a 'cancel route' on the screen that was replaced with the INFO/APPS button on the 2014 model. Surly you guys have a button to cancel this, yes?

You use stock Navigation? Yikes...welcome to 1990!

Mount my iPhone on AC vent......plug it into USB......that’s all the navigation and Hey Siri takes care of the rest. No use for voice commands BS.

I use both, iphone on AC vent with Waze app and GX navigation for a bigger view and it helps me to make my own decisions with routing. I have a new place to be every work day.

I like to see the big map when doing road trip so I use it quite a bit.
I also used it to enter address and lower or raise temperature .
Strangely that it can’t do fan speed.
You can delete destination by saying “delete all destinations” or “delete current destination”.

For 2014+, there is a soft button on Nav screen marked as "Menu" while in nav routing mode. By pressing the "Menu" on the screen, it will bring up a list of options for the route, including options like re-routing, stop the guidance, cancel the route, etc.

While navigating, there is a software button at top: "Del Dest" or something like that.
