Default Voice/Phone Commands without Nav?

Hey everyone, I've been reading tons of threads over the past few weeks and I'm about to lease a 2014 IS250. I'm trying to decide which options/accessories I want to go with.

One big question I have is, can you still do voice commands for phone dialing on models without Navigation? This might be a stupid question, but I want to make sure I know the truth before I start negotiating with the dealer.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Welcome to CL!

Yes, even without Navi you have a multimedia display as well as Bluetooth Hands-Free on the steering wheel. Simply press the "Push to Talk" button and Say "Call John Smith" or "Dial XXX-XXX-XXXX"

When you go into the dealer to look at the car or to test drive, pair up your phone to the car or have the salesperson/Tech Specialist demo it for you!

Awesome. Thank you for the help.

I did a test drive last week, and loved the car.

I think I will probably pass on Navigation - I'll settle for my iPhone for Navigation and save $2k.
