Default Bluetooth Phone # with a pause

Hello All,

I've been trying to input my work voicemail which has pauses in it to avoid having to input the password. I first noticed I could not transfer the number from my phone so I attempted to manually imput it.

When inputting the number, I noticed there was a button for "pause" and "wait." I so I inputted 555-555-5555pXXXX# (where XXXX is the password). However, when I tried calling the number, only the phone number was visible on the screen and the pause and password never kicked in.

Any ideas?

As far as I know, noone has ever gotten pauses to work properly without having to hit another button to "send" the numbers that come after the pause.

Default Lexus KNOWS that pause does NOT work

I emailed Lexus. They tried it and emailed me back that they agreed with me that pause does NOT work. They said they would send a note to the designers, so it doesn't sound like this will be fixed.

If you should be so lucky as to need a wait and a pause with the wait coming sometime earlier in the number before the pause, then pause will work. In all other cases, pause does not work. This is such a shame since I have a number that should be all done with a single push of the speed dial BUT it requires the use of a pause.
