Car loaded with features...you don't use?
So i was looking for a CL-S with NAV, but ended up with an 05 TL 6MT with NAV.. the car is loaded with so many voice interaction features and others...frankly, I must as well be back in my old e320 94 coupe...I just dont' use any of the gizmos..i know where I am going for the most part...etc..
which feature on the 3rd Gen TL, can you do without?

If features are there, I test them and use them to varying degrees.
I don't normally use voice commands for the climate control or audio, though, since manual control is fine (esp. with the steering wheel controls for the audio).

Voice commands for climate control and navigation are never used. I don't use the mirror tilt option a whole lot. Heated mirror button I think is for decoration only (ok, I did use it this AM in fog, for like 10 seconds). Oh, hell... I don't ever use the navi. I bought it mainly because it looks cool. For that, it serves it purpose.

You'd probably use the voice commands more if you knew what commands are available. I know I studied the manual and use the voice commands to find restaurants, etc....

^^^ Every once in a while, I'll see a TL owner driving their car with the mobile phone up to their ear. I always think....why? I wonder if their mobile phone wouldn't link with the HFL or if they were just lazy and haven't tried to link it.
I don't use the heated side mirrors even in Canada on -40 I don't need them. they should have made them auto folding instead of heated. I sometimes use voice dialing but I noticed that BT uses up my phone battery alot faster. Other than that I use everything.
Eats up the cell phone battery. At least for me. I use it in im on a long trip, but short trips I turn the bluetooth of the cell off
voice command is pretty lame, for the radio and temperature controls.. i mean come on the buttons are 6 inches away!!
every time i try to use it
ME : Passenger Temperature 80 degrees
CAR : The Time is now 8:15
ME : F!@ you car!!!

i am actually happy for my cassette player because it allows me to play my mp3 player. give it that it's not good quality but i still use it. I still havent figured out how to use voice command. ive tried for several times but since my car was a conversion from non navi, i'm not sure if it will allow voice commands.

I have my TL-S for 2 years now, and I never use my voice command outside of making a call... I suck. I always wanted to input address into navi by speaking to it, but I find it easier to type it in.
I would enjoy though a feature to select a track past 30, as I only use mp3 cds... Once I've seen the booklet for voice commands, I said one day, one day... lol

Hey man... take it easy, I was just answering the question... I don't know alot of the voice commands... I try to read the manual as much as I can... I have honestly never seen anyone use the cassette player, in any car that I have ever seen one in.... but I do use like 90% of the features... even the feature to open all the windows in you car remotely with the FOB...

My favorite things and the things I miss most since I'm rolling in a rental right now are bluetooth and heated seats. I hardly ever use the voice commands, NAVI comes in handy if I don't know where I'm going which isn't often, but it's nice when you need it.
I would rather have it and not need it than....
With so many features you ar bound to not use some of them. How about do you really need the six cd changer any more? I use XM and my iphone/ipod almost always. I also always use bluetooth. Navi and the touch screen are also in my top ten. Even the cassette deck gets used occasionally.
Voice controls, not so much. Enjoy what you like, ignore the rest, leave it for te next person. Nice to have so many choices.
