    Hello. Is there a way with the 2006 model, package #8 to use the car's keypad to dial when the car is moving? If I used my speed dial to call a number and I need to enter an extension, I have to use my cell phone. Is there a better way to do that? Thank you.

    That's in the works, but not at the moment.

    In the works by whom? Toyota via software update? Someone looking for a hack? Developing a hardware mod like CoastalTech?

    There's another active thread on the same subject. The only known way around this right now is to cut the speed sensor wire behind the dash and install a switch to deactivate when you want to use the BT while in motion.



    I'm at work and don't have time to search for the thread on exactly how to do this, but that's your best bet.

    I'm guessing that's the same technique for entering addresses into the NAV system while in motion?

    Yes, there are two purple wires back there, one for the NAV , the other one goes to the MFD for the BT and for the Energy screen.

    I heard you can enter a destination and change air temp etc on the 06 with your voice - how about calling using your voice and the bluetooth?

    You can, but not with the original numbered key pad. When dialing, there is a "0-9" button appears on the screen that can be used to enter extensions. You can also use the "speed tone" feature to program extensions or PIN's that you use often.
