Pause And Wait Keys Nav 6.1

[prblanken]

Anyone know how to make use of the pause and wait keys on the Nav 6.1 telephone keypad? Our home voice mail service rings 5 times then requires that we enter a password to access our messages. I would like to be able to store our home telephone number along with a suitable pause or wait time equivalent to the 5 rings, and then have it complete the access by dialing in the password. Surely it is a simple process...but I can't figure it out...and neither can the dealer to date.

After reading your posting, I realized I wanted to do the same thing with my office voicemail. My requirements are for an ID and a password. I could not find documentation in the 2007 RX 400h manual on the pause and wait keys, but it appeared straight-forward enough to just plug them in when I wanted a pause or a wait. Unfortunately, I could not get it to work either. The car dialed the base number, but stopped at the pause command. The same happened if I used a wait command instead of pause.

I asked my salesman about it. He did not know how they are supposed to work, but was going to refer the question to their specialist. I will let you know what I hear back.

I just spoke with my salesman. We are going to setup an appointment this week with the dealership's phone expert to go over how to do this. I am a little concerned. He said I need to log into the voicemail through the phone, which sounded like the Lexus navigation pause/wait feature does not work for this purpose. I will let you know what I find out.

I do recall a similar answer somewhere on the board. You might try searching for some keywords. I don't recall the poster or details, but remember something about having to physically use the phone for this kind of interaction.
