Will Acura ever intergrate a phone key pad into its Nav package? I think it would be a nice feature.

 

i doubt it since it would them make you take your eyes off the road to dial

 

But its ok to type an address while driving

 

i guess so

 

I think it would be much safer to have the keypad than using a phone especially if the you a Cingular 8125 or any other Pocket PC.

 

that would actually be a good feature.

 

Or you can just get the Sony W810i which is what I did. Then you can upload your entire contacts database onto the Nav screen. I now search for my contacts on the Nav unit, not my phone. I have ~1000 contacts with multiple entries for each and the car imported all of them. It is awesome!
-P

 

but htis feature is only available to 07+ TL's. us that have the 04-06 get screwed over...

 

That really bites!!!!!!! Now that we've found that out, is there a retrofit? or an upgrade?

 

Doh...
Sorry guys, didn't realize,
-P

 

Would be a nice feature, but you can always voice dial too.

 

Whats wrong with voice command?

you: "Dial 123456789"..

HFL: "Would you like to call.."

you: "Yes"

HFL: "Calling..."

Nifty little feature.

 

Because my car does not understand "seven" as the first digit half the time. It always thinks it is an eight or a nine for some reason. Besides, don't tell me it gets your numbers right every time
I hate having to sit there and repeat the same number multiple times. It can be quite frustrating.
Nifty little feature but picking the contact from the Nav screen works everytime...
-P

 

LOL - it's ok mine doesn't know what 3 is...........but if I say TREE it works.....

 

LOL, maybe I should try Heaven instead of seven

That is a whole new thread, words you can use to fool the HFL into dialing correctly

 

Don't laugh - heaven will probably work!!

Sex works instead of six .....lol


Tree - sex - heaven = 3, 6, 7

 

LOL,
Run- 1
You-2
Tree-3
more-4
live-5
sex-6
heaven-7
fate-8
fine-9

 

That's all you need to know to use the HFL......LOL

 

Only thing with the w810 and other Sony Ericsson phones is that the bluetooth sucks on those! I know from experience (w600i and w810i).

Get a blackberry pearl and use the voice dialing on there, plus the bluetooth is top notch. Motorola also has good bluetooth... But my BlackBerry is the best phone I've used I dont have any probs with it.

So wait? I can't import my address book onto my 06 like he did?

 

Really?
I haven't had any issues at all with the W810. I get Battery strength, signal strength full phonebook import and have not had any issues at all.
Maybe I just got lucky,

OH i mean that the bluetooth strength is really weak. and when transferring things to other phones sony ericssons are usually slow.

 

Oh OK... That makes sense. I can only be about 20 feet from the car before I lose my signal, my N80, 8800 and E61 all stay connected from anywhere in the house. But then again that's not really an issue inside the car . The transfer might be slow but it is the only device that I know of that uploads its entire contacts database to the navi...
