Default voice activated Nav - 2007-2009 Any success ???

I know that the general consensus is that voice activated Nav doesn't work very well, but under what conditions does it work OK.

What about the blue tooth cell phone integration?

I haven't played around with the voice commands for anything yet but I can tell you that the bluetooth cell connection works very well. I have my Blackberry Curve paired with it and I haven't had any issues with it so far. It links up automatically when I start the car and unlinks when I shut it off.

We quit using it because you have to repeat what you said so many times before the NAV system understood what it was you were saying. Because the Lexus was mfg'ered in Japan we always felt that it might work better for an English-speaking Japanese person.
