A couple of navigation questions

A couple of navigation questions...

1. Is there a way to use the voice command to navigate to an intersection? This seems pretty basic, yet I can't figure out how to do it.

2. When your phone syncs to the car via Bluetooth and your stored contacts have an address associated with them, can you not navigate to one of your contacts from your phone's address book? Do contact addresses not sync via Bluetooth as well?

The manual makes it sound like you have to manually configure your contact address inside the RDX's address book which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard if so. My RAV4 that I had before the RDX allowed navigation to a contact's address in your phone's address book (the contact's address AND phone number both synced to the car via Bluetooth).

Thanks!

Obviously you asked a tough question for which there's no easy off hand answer. Someone would have to go back to their car and delve into the screen and manuals to figure out.

I believe the nav has to have an address. You can't just tell it to take you to Omaha. The dealer says the thing to do is to input 123 Main Street or such.

The navigation system allows for the input of an intersection (it's a menu option). I am asking whether there is a way to use the voice command to input the intersection since you must use the voice command while moving.
