I agree 100%. I would be willing to sign a waiver so that these features could be unlocked. Also, note that speach recognition software allows for you to "TEACH" your software to recognize your individuality, I can not for the life of me get the thing to recognize what I am saying
My first Lexus. New LS460 in May. Back to Mercedes for me. It's a beautiful car spoiled by the Sat/Nav. If the voice commands worked & were intuitive (Mine constantly turns Audio Off as a default for not understanding my command!) it might be usable, but they don't & you search for the right command which takes umpteen attempts. We use this car for touring,every week we set off, usually only knowing our first port of call. On the way throughout the day we need to navigate & every time we need to find a safe parking place. A recent trip to Eastern Washington were we were wandering from place to place was spoiled for my wife by having to map read all the time. Constantly trying to set new destinations using the Sat/nav was so frustrating we gave up.
Count me in to anything that would get this changed.
