stupid question
My stupid question is how do you make phone calls while the car is in motion if the phone book is disabled? Is dialing the number itself or via voice commands the only way? On my ES were "Speed Dials" which could be accessed. In short, are there speed dials, or if not, any way to access the phone book while in motion other than with voice commands??

I'm using an iPhone 5S, and when I pair it through Bluetooth (with sync contact switched on), I use the voice command by calling out the name of the person I want to call. "Call....mobile"

The SPEED DIAL numbers are called FAVORITES in the RC350. See p.349 and following of the Navi System user guide. Up to 15 contacts (4 numbers per contact) can be stored as Favorites. They are accessed on the first tab of the Phone screen and can be dialed when the car is in motion.

On your CONTACTS page, you will notice a gray star to the left of each name. Simply click on this star to change it to yellow and it will then be on your FAVORITES tab. Easy. If you fill up all 15 positions but keep adding new ones, the older ones will drop off as required.

I've provided links to two threads so you can download the NAV and Owner's Manual in a PDF, which makes searching so much easier.
This is for the NAV Manual: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...rom-lexus.html
This is for the Owner's Manual: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...rom-lexus.html
Hope that helps.

Got the Favorites loaded. Two things I'm not fond of comparing this set-up to my ES. One is that there was room for 18 Speed dials vs 15 Favorites. More importantly, the Speed Dials only needed one push to start the call. The favorites require two separate actions to start the call. Oh well, at least it is accessible while the car is in motion. There are always some trade-offs.

What I can't understand is why they wouldn't give full access to the complete phonebook. Is it safer to just have 15 items available while in motion? I think it is actually less safe, as you'll end up looking for an entry that may not be present on the truncated Favorites list, and be more distracted from driving.
