I have a 350 w/ ML and obviously Bluetooth capability (which works wonderfully of course). I was wondering if anyone happens to know if there is a way to access the voice-dialing feature of my phone, i.e. speak names of people in my phonebook and have them dialed. I know I have a bluetooth headset that lets me do this, so presumably its feasible. Can it be done? Do I have to reprogram the sounds of the people in my phonebook directly into the car or should they have been transfered when I zapped my phonebook into the car?
cheers.
cheers.

I don't believe it's possible. It seems like it would have been a rather simple addition to the software since the bluetooth profile supports this, meaning its a standard not specific to individual phones (this is why headsets can do it). Perhaps the solution would also cut down in the time it takes to voice dial...aka "after the display has updated press the ... switch and say the name of the person you wish to dial"- something I find very annoying.

Closest I think of is every Sprint phone has built in voice command by dialing * TALK. So if you can just dial the star (*) key, you can access all the names in your phonebook directory.

The Lexus Nav system recognizes certain voice commands, but no one has yet posted them.
Go to the Help screen to get a list of commands. Then post them here, please.

So if I understand correctly while I cannot use the recorded names that are already in my phone, I can teach the car the names of people? That would be more than sufficient, thanks!

TimboIS: You're contradicting terp05. If nothing else, assuming it was possible to do what you're saying, how would one even get the car to tell the phone it is transmitting a name? If one presses the 'talk' button in the phone menu they will only get the option to dial by number, which works crazy good btw (you speak a 10-digit number totally naturally and it will just about always get it right).
