Australian IS250 Differences
Hey guys,
Just picked up my is250 RWD in Oz yesterday (Sports with Option).
Does anyone know if its possible to somehow hack the Nav to respond to voice commands like the US models. When in Nav mode, and I hit the voice button, it just says voice functions not available in this mode, but they do work for the BT phone etc.
I am really bummed, cause this means I really cant control any Nav settings in the car while driving, even by voice, unless I do the hack every time.
Anyone else know of difference in the Oz/USA car. I read about all these kwl things in these forums, and then find they dont come in the Oz cars. eg. Doors autolocking at certain speed etc

Does anyone know if its possible to get voice activation going in the car? Is it a feature they have simply turned off over here, or is it not there?
