TundraGeneral discussion forum for the 2007 and later Toyota Tundra.
This is a discussion thread titled "Bluetooth voice dialing sucks", within the Tundra forum, part of the Truck Forums category.
Whats up everybody picked up my 08 cm trd yesterday and I have the JBL audio with blue tooth. Am I the only one that this d@# thing cant understand when I speak comands or are others having trouble. Is there some secret to programing your phone numbers in there faster or do you just have to go one by painful one.

Go slow and add only a few numbers to the phone number at a time. I found it to go much quicker this way. Be sure to speak right at the mic when saying numbers. Also, make sure you are not driving or have any other loud sounds going on in the background.

I'm sure there's a way to be more efficient with the system, but I haven't found it yet. I settled on doing one or two at a time whilst at a stoplight or what have you. I have found that once you have done a few, it comes more easily. Also, do a search. Another board member sat down with his nav system and wrote down ALL of the voice commands and published them in another thread in a .doc format. Once I had THAT info, I used it as kind of a Rosetta Stone to find out more about the whole nav system. I learned more about it that way than by reading the manual. Learn by doing, not by reading, ya know? While YMMV, I don't have a whole lot of people I need/want on speed dial, so the dozen or so I have programmed thus far will probably be it for me.
One more thing...as much as we may complain about the JBL/Toyota nav unit, my buddy's Mercedes unit is twice as much money and about half as useful. I told him to try speaking to it in German. He politely told me to go to hell.
Good luck!

I say the number as clearly, but quickly as I can or it seems it adds numbers if I do it slowly. This is not just a problem in our system from what I hear.
Mine sucks. Was going to take to dealer to see if he had better luck. Really frustrating when you do speak really clear and slow and it repeats something diff back!! I have yet to program one particular #, every time I (or my wife) tries it reads back several more numbers than we said??
Loud and fast talking works every time for me, if I go slow its adds false numbers.

Loud and fast, and speak to the mic, not the air vents. It seems to get better the longer I have it. I am not sure if it "learns" or I am just figuring out what it wants.

Works great for me...couldn't be happier. Very rarely kicks anything back at me and that is only when one of the rugrats in the back seat pipes up while I'm giving a command.

I would like it if you could just say for example "Dial Home" and then it dials.
Instead you have to hit the button, say "dial by name", hit button again and say "Home", and the hit another button to dial.
Hell even Ford has the sync whichs seems much simplier.
According to the command list is it possible to hit the button and say "Dial by Name Home"?

Just hit the button and say Home. Works fine that way for me.

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."
Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.
After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.
Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.
Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.
Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.
Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.
I was amazed at how well mine works, picking up numbers and commands, etc. I'm going to look around for that list of commands, though, just cuz I'm curious.
On getting numbers into it, I have a Treo 700p, and one option I have when I'm in the phone's address book is to send either a contact or a group of contacts via bluetooth. I did that and sent every number in my phone to the truck in about 10 seconds. Seems like first I had to put the truck nav in 'information transfer' mode on the phone settings page or something like that, but it was intuitive and very easy.
