Default BlueTooth - HTC Touch

I got a HTC Touch Windows Mobile 6 phone a couple of weeks ago.

The connection was seamless but I did find that bluetooth uses up the battery much faster so when I leave the car I shut off bluetooth and turn it back on when I get back in.

It really works great with the IS350 with one exception: When moving, if I call home to check messages, I can't enter the passcode numbers because on the navigation screen the numbers are grayed out. Other than that it is fine.

Can anyone dial out using the nav screen while the car is in motion?
Anybody know a work around?

Program the Speed Dial function. The system lets you program up to 18 numbers (I think). When the car is in motion, the numbers do not show, but the names do and the system will dial out when you press the screen.

You can also program voice tags using the voice recognition system (this is not as easy as the manual makes it seem, I believe they left out a step... but I find it easier to use the speed dial function.

Unless your like my son who has hundreds of numbers in his phone, you can use the nav screen to dial out your top 18...

Check your owners manual.
