    I tried to find movie times with movietickets.com while driving today (actually my wife was driving and I was playing). When I displayed a theater with 12 screens, I found I could not scroll through the list while the car was moving and I could not figure out a voice command to do it either. Anyone know if this is possible?

    Assuming I am not missing something, it seems that Toyota designed this system with a somewhat haphazard user interface, at least when it comes to lockouts and voice commands. For example, the scroll function is locked out in some screens but not others. It is so confusing to try to replace simple button pushes with randomly selected voice commands that it is far more distracting to lock out these functions than to simply let the driver or passenger push the familiar buttons. I guess this is what happens when you allow lawyers to design a user interface. :(

    Nope, right now the only entune app that uses voice commands is BING on the ATP system. You're stuck with a single scroll down or up in lists when you're driving.

    Yeah, I finally figured out today that there are no voice commands in Entune apps other than Bing. However, I don't see any way to scroll at all in MovieTickets.com. What do you mean by "a single scroll down or up"?

    Thanks. --Dave

    I confirmed with a Toyota support person that, even though you can search for movies while the car is moving, you cannot fully display the results. He agreed this makes no sense, even less than the other ways the lawyers have hobbled the system, and will put in a "customer concern" report. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a fix though.

    Are the movietickets and iheartmusic apps only available to the AT package or will they be coming to the other Priui?
