LS 430 Bluetooth Override?

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:19 pm

I have a 2004 LS 430.  The car’s Bluetooth system
doesn’t allow telephone numbers to be manually
entered for outgoing calls when the car is moving.
The number buttons on the screen "gray out."

I note that there’s a way to override the navigation
system so as to allow destination addresses to be
input while the car is in motion:

Is there a similar override/workaround/hack that will
allow telephone numbers to be punched in and an outgoing
call made while the car is moving?

    Well, actually, I was hopping for a key sequence
    to be used on the existing hardware, not a new
    piece of gear costing hundreds of dollar.  Being
    able to dial while driving isn’t that important
    to me.

    Thanks anyway, though.
