Meaning.... of the phonebook pre-recorded names .. is there a way to force the TL to play the recorded name when that number is recognized as an incoming call?

 

nope....unfortunately it is not quite that advanced yet.

 

Or more feasable is there any way to get the caller ID on the HFL display on the dash to say the name of the person calling (like it does on the phone) instead of the caller ID of the number of the caller? I don't know why they did this as the car has a phonebook of it's own. (even if it isn't linked to the phonebook of the phone like the 07 models) I wonder if the 2007 model has this changed. Does it do name caller id on the dash?

 

If your phone is not "lobotomized" (like most of the Verizon Wireless ones are), the ability to transmit the phonebook over the Bluetooth Link will be available. And, on the '07 models, you can use this feature to upload your phone book into the car.

At that point, I *suspect* (I didn't see this in the reading on line at http://www.handsfreelink.com, at least, not yet) you will have an option to display the name of the caller in the MID.
