Needsdecaf/Junior1790, Have either of you tried a different iPhone or had the chance to try your phone in another Lexus (GS or otherwise) that has Siri eyes free?

I haven't had a problem with mine since i did the above fix, the one i posted up top. I just had to enable access while locked and since then it works great..

Oh, duh. I saw Needsdecaf quote your post and forgot that you had already fixed your issue!

What voice commands do you use to take advantage of Eyes free?

UPDATE: Tried it and it works. Excellent!

The voice command on Lexus is just awful and it's annoying they can't seem to make it better. There has been marginal improvement over the 3GS but it's still not great like Siri is.

The other day I told it to "Find Nearby Airport" and it said, "You want to find Nearby Vietnamese Restaurants?" WTF?

Ditto! I didn't have it before but I guess Lexus updated the software (got a letter in the mail saying they would).

This allowed me to have Siri work through the car, and now my text messages are read aloud through the car.
