Yup, that should do it!

Isn't cool that stuff can be found by the folks here and the service department is scratching their head. Actually thinking about it, it is pretty sad.

Many thanks for all your help!!!!

Went to the dealer today and they truly didn't know about this menue. The scanner/laptop wouldn't let them into this menue via the port. Anyway we played and adjusted it for about 2 hours. No joy. We managed to get it better, but it is still inconsistant as heck. Probably about a 85% fail rate which makes it useless.
The dealer is going to contact the tech boys at Toyota and see what is up. Then comes the district guy. Should hear back next Tuesday.

Anybody have any other thoughts?

Again thanks folks for your help.

I too have had issues with the BlueTooth. Many complaints from folks who could not hear me talk. I entered the diagnostic menu as described in above links. After hitting the menu tab, I changed the sending sensitivity tab to "3". The receiving tab is set at "0" I have had the current settings for a few months, and it has helped quite a bit. There are times and certain areas I do not like the Bluetooth link. However, with good reception on your cell phone the 3 setting seems to work for me.

If you really need voice dial, sign up for it through your cell carrier, and with a Camry with the NAV system you put the voice dial number into the first speed dial button. That's what I did with both Sprint and AT&T, and it works fine.

You pre-populate a contact list on a web site for the most used numbers, pre-program *8 or *08 into the first speed dial button, then you're good to go. As you're driving along, hit the telephone button on the steering wheel, hit the speed dial button, the system responds with a greeting, the you say "call Bill Smith at work" or "call 8885551212." I found that both the Sprint and AT&T systems work fine. At the AT&T system, if you say "call 8885551212" will ask you if you want to put that number into the systems contact list, so the next time you could say "call Mom on the cell phone."

I don't know if you have any ability to program speed dial buttons with a non-NAV system, but with the NAV setup, this is a very workable solution.
