If you do not have NAV then you do not have the voice commands so you cannot use voice to dial from the address book. You have to scoll through in I-drive and push down on the selected entry.
With Voice commands you push the voice button. (not the phone button) and say "Call [Name]"
Underwater sound is feedback (echo). When in a call try lowering the volume and ask the other party when your voice is ideal. Also resist the temptation to speak loudly as the MIC is sensitive and only a few inches from you mouth.

Today I was playing with the voice command and there are useful commads for the phone only, no commands for the other functions that the nav option enables.
Previous post was accurate, there seems to be a seperate phone book in addition to the shared list with the phone. This extra list is where the voice commands are created and stored. In order to create voice entries you must be connected to the bluetooth phone and operational.
Funny thing on the way home from the dealer yesterday I was listening to my new cars radio and suddenly the radio went mute and the speakers started to "ring". My phone was in the glove box so I guessed by pressing the phone button on the steering. The phone system connected and the I conversed with my daughter while driving the canyon. Her voice was so clear it was like having her in the car. She said my voice was more clear than the usual quality while talking through the phone.
Today I spent some time and created the voice activated list in the car. One very awesome system
BTW the car is everything the others have said it is. I figured my high epectation could only lead to some disappointment. On the contrary, they have been exceeded.

Good info, thanks.
Unfortunately, UPS was to deliver my RAZR phone today with the BT install scheduled for tomorrow. However, UPS can't find the phone and it's been tracked to the truck that made deliveries in my neighborhood already. It's 10:00 pm and I am still waiting. I've been trying to call cincular's customer service to see if I can pick up another phone first thing in the morning at a local store and get credit on the UPS shipment. Then my only probem will be the internet discount and rebate. This is really screwed up because my old sprint phone number and sprint discontinued my service on friday (the day I orderd).

Actually, I just took delivery of my 2005 545 yesterday and it doesn't have Nav. I am using a Moto V505 bluetooth phone and the system works flawlessly.
