Yeah, I wanted to call my wife as I entered the nieghborhood to let her know I was almost home, and by the time the voice recognition had four of the ten numbers I was in the driveway. The voice reconition sucks!

Also, if I drive off the road while typing away on the nav screen it is still my fault. Heck, if I drive off the road because I had to fumble around to get my phone out and dial it because Toyota disabled a safety feature, I might sue them. It is much safer to type the number in on a large screen with large buttons than fumble around for the phone and dial using the small buttons.

But my biggest gripe is, my wife and I are looking for property. We are spending our weekends driving around looking for addresses we have no idea where they are. We just put an address in the nav and go there, but my wife can't input an address unless we are stoped. That is dumb, if she is there, it is perfectly safe for her to work the nav while I drive. If we want to find a resturant by name, we have to pull over and input the name when stoped. Again, dumb.

If you are going to disable it for safety, disable all buttons, as I can cause just as much of a hazard switching from map to the fuel economy screen as I can doing other functions.

I want 5.1 in my 6.1 car.
