Does this system work at all. It's almost impossible to enter an address and I look funny talking to the headliner.

 

I couldn't agree more.

 

The 2010 was supposed to have improved voice recognition but I didn't see it either. I eventually gave up using it. I would think the new gen ES system would have to be better.

 

Even my non nav 08 is pretty fun sometimes. *listening* "Setup" --> car responds with "Cancelled." about 50% of the time.... I can see how this would be even more frustrating with something like an address on a Nav equipped system.

 

Funny they'd install something like that. Cheapens the whole.

 

Maybe... Maybe not.

 

I forget which years it extended to since I had an 07 but there was a tsb on the voice recognition (poor word recognition) on the navigation which ran concurrent to a tsb in which the navigation would place you in the wrong area on the map.

The only voice command I used while I owned the car was "automatic climate control on" and that was just to show people that there was a voice command feature. It's a pretty useless feature to be honest. It takes 50x the time it would take me to manually type in an address vs using the voice command.

 

I'm actually having difficulty manually typing in the address for the Nav...am I doing
something wrong? The touch screen sucks! 2011 ES

 

Bump... Can anyone give me some feedback? Thanks!
