Can't you enter the addresses via voice command into the GPS while on the move? I thought that function is possible..

You can enter it via voice command but it is much easier typing it out if there is a passenger in the car. I have not had a chance to really use the voice command extensively so I can't really comment on its performance. If only I had more time to drive...

Just a heads-up. Apparently you have to activate "expanded voice commands" in the system for voice commands to work properly :

Not sure where in IL you live but you can always swing by the dealership and I can show you.

If "Expanded Voice Commands" is not turned on the system works horrible....it's comes from the factory turned off? Turn it on and give it a try

A sure fire way to check is to ask the dealer for the packages and options list. Thats how I found out since it is not included in any packages per se.

If a GS350 F-Sport has the option of LDH (Lexus Dynamic Handling), it will have rear steering since DRS (rear steering) is an integral part of LDH.

To keep it simple, LDH = DRS+VGRS+F-Sport VDIM

What he said. ^^^

On a random note, is there a way to go from having the engine on directly to acc mode? I know with some push start cars double clicking usually does the trick but I cant seem to figure it out on the 4GS.
