I just got my new 2017 RX with Navigation. I had a 2016 Highlander and I could press the voice button on the steering wheel and say "Text Tony". It would find Tony in my contacts and it would ask which preset response to send him. Then I'd say "send." I don't see this anywhere on my Lexus. The dealer didn't know and is checking with the tech expert. Is this possible with this car? Hard to believe the Highlander would have this capability and not the Lexus. Thanks!

Research Siri Eyes Free.....
I press off hook phone button on steering wheel, hold for two seconds, wait for microphone icon on navi head unit, Say text xxxxxx, siri comes on over the car speaker, what do you want to say?.....etc
Do you want to send, I say yes.

Dont know how other phones function.

I have a Samsung S7. I had zero problems with the highlander. I am due for a new phone so if iPhones work then I'll just get another phone. I miss this feature.
