Please stop the political discussion. I like a good political argument as much as anyone but this seems like the wrong place for it. I started this thread because I want Toyota to improve their nav/phone system. I'd like others that feel the same way to also give their feedback to Toyota. I'm not holding my breath waiting for a better system but I figure it is worth the time. Toyota seems to be very good at improving their cars. The nav/phone system is a glaring exception. Again, the easy way to send Toyota feedback is: Send Toyota Feedback via Email Thanks, Will Mayall
i kind of like and dislike the lock out. But most of the time i dislike it is when i am in hurry to get to a place or calling someone. But other of the time, I am fine with it. I think it is better to keep that way because if you can change something while driving, other careless driver can do the same. Signing a a waiver will not help either even you think you can take the risk and drive better then other, but other drivers can they do the same? I have a CarPC I built in my 350z which has full nav and BT phone feature that I can use anytime while driving, but that I can tell you is very dangerous to use while driving. If I can touch on the screen while driving and know where to touch, I can do it safely. And sometimes I will just gets to focus on changing something on the touchscreen and almost rear ended someone. Thus, now i learn to pull over to a parking lot or exit a ramp to just do what I want. just my 2cent....
I don't mind the lock out. Just like putting on make-up, eating, and reading the paper, I shouldn't be inputing info while driving, but I can do it at stoplights. Happily the speed dial still works. I haven't worked at the voice command much, but it does seem like a waste of breath.
