Thats true, but more annoying is that you cannot make call, change the music from the track list.

 

I have the NAV version and you can set up 2 dozen phone numbers you can access while in motion but you need to do it ahead of time.
Also the tract select buttons on the steering wheel make switching tracks fairly easy even while in motion.
And of course you can always use the "dial by number" voice command which if you never tried it works fairly well. At least for me on the rare occasion I need to dial a number I haven't programmed into the speed-dial buttons. I never pursued navigating the audio system with voice commands.
