Default pauses in phone book entry

I know this topic has been discussed before, but has anyone figured how to enter a 'pause' in the phone book entry ? What ever I do, the phone does not take it.

The features that seem to be lacking in Lexus RX 350 bluetooth, according to me are:

1) Auto detect of BT phone after registering multiple phones.
2) Dynamic downloading of phone book of the detected phone.
3) No way to enter pauses/waits in a phone numebr. This is useful if you want to access office voice mail etc.
4) Phone book scrolling using steering wheel buttons.
5) Phone book entry transfer one at a time only. Can get around this by using a Sony Ericsson which transfers all contacts at once.

Will there be a software update etc in the near future that can help us out ?

I read some posts in this forum that the Lexus BT tech. is a generation behind and, I'm sad to say, I have realized it only after buying a 07 RX 350.

I have Gen 4 NAV which doesn't allow entry of phone numbers/names manually at all. However, using a Sony Ericsson T68 handset I can do it including entering the pauses.

Hold down the * key for about a second when entering the contact number and a 'p' is added which is a pause.
