HFL: can the voice confirmations be turned off/bypassed?
I have finally achieved reasonable success using my PalmOne Tre 650 with my 2004 TL. I am curious, though, if there is a way to turn off/bypass the voiced confirmations by the car. If is say "Dial 555-1212" the car says "Would you like to dial 555-1212?", or "555-1212, say Dial or Call."
Would be nice to shut these off like you can for the voice commands for the rest of the car...

HFL: Voice Feedback/Dialing Protocols
1. The Johnson Controls assistance line fellow indicated that the voice feedback cannot be turned off.
However, I have found you can interrupt her (or his) voice by pressing the talk button and immediately speaking your next command. The only time this doesn't work is when the system is playing back something you have already recorded (like the name of a phonebook entry for instance). That helps speed things up a bit.
2. HFL Dialing protocols. Did you ever figure out how to get into your voicemail system using phonebook entries to dial your access number and passwords? My work voicemail system seems not to recognize single or multiple "pause" statements so I cannot string the whole process together in one phonebook entry. However, at the suggestion of the Johhnson Controls helpdesk, I now set up one phonebook entry for the main voicemail number, then once connected, I press the talk button and "send" another phonebook entry which consists of the voicemail access and password codes. For some reason that seems to work for me most of the time.
Anybody have any other ideas?

so you tried storing the phone number you are calling, multiple pauses, a number (access/account), pauses, pin? I hadnt thought of even trying that, i left the phone number and access numbers separate. has anyone else gotten the first way to work? I would think its possible with enough pauses/correct timing.
Can you send the '#' sign to the HFL?

Works OK. Somewhat of a nuisance compared with being able to use pauses, but better than pulling out the phone to do this.
will try it again on my way home tonight...thanks.
