My car is 07 ES350 with ultra premium package, but the voice command climate control (e.g. raise temperature, warmer) had never been working for me. Some other voice functions work without any problem. I thought that is not a supported function until I came across TSIB EL008-06

Title:
VOICE COMMANDS FOR CLIMATE
CONTROL ARE INOPERATIVE
Models:
’07 ES 350

I talked to the service advisor but he is positive that it is not a supported function. He had confirmed with the sales person that voice command for climate control is new to 2010 models. Although the TSIB is pointing at 07 ES 350 specifically, the advisor believes that the TSIB is from US so that it might not apply to vehicles purchased in Canada.

Does anyone in Canada have voice command climate control working for 07 ES350?

Thanks!

your advisors/salesman are just that. salesmen. most don't know much about cars. they only know how to sell them. visit the service department and show them the TSIB. hassle them until they do it for you.

Go with the 09, or 2010.A $5K difference is warranted for a car a couple years newer, by depreciation standards.

Also, I know the 07/08 models have had some serious refinement issues (i.e. the clacking noise, VVT oil hose, tranny). I'm not sure if it was fixed in 09, you should check. I do prefer the styling of the 07-09 as there is no chrome on the passenger wood grain and the chrome strip on the skirts of the 2010 and up, looks way too tacky.
