Another thing: Can someome please explain the voice activation stuff? I can't get the car to recognize a damn thing I say. If I say the number 6-1-2-5-5-5-1-2-3-4 it repeats back -6-*-#-9-5-5-5-5-2-0. I say "menu" and it dials a phone number. What gives? I definitely need to read up on the voice activation stuff. I've read other posts where people are saying that the voice activation is their favorite feature, but I have a hard time understanding how that could be.

speaking clearly is a key here, but sometimes you might just be in the wrong menu for the request youre making....Sometimes an easy map to success can be speaking "options" when prompted for a command. That will tell you the kind of voice command that the system is capable of understanding in its current state.

Speak clearly...
I had to learn how to speak again when I started giving voice commands to my car.

With comfort access, if you hold onto the door handle, it will close all the windows and sunroof.
HEY! NICE... hummm I wonder if that works with lexus... Their key hole is actually covered up by a plastic cover which you can pop off so with the cover it makes it all nice and smooth... kinda like how our passenger door looks. I wish BMW did that... but I was kinda annoyed how I cant roll up the windows like BMW without having to pop off the key hole cover, inserting the small key into the hole to roll up the windows and spending 5 mins trying to put the cover back on. Should have thought of that... Gotta try the Comfort access button tomorrow.

Did you try bimmian.com, with a little carving on the entry piece, it would work...
