Satnav Voice Commands

[Denpar]

Hi Everyone, I'm a new member wishing to introduce myself, and to ask for your help regarding satnav voice commands.

I now own my fourth Avensis and prior to that had a Carina E. Each has been a very practical, reliable, and well appointed car. The latest one is a 57 plate 1.8 TR (Petrol), and the first that I've not had from new. Incedentally, the last Avensis was converted to LPG and served me brilliantly for 115 000 miles.

Before buying this latest car, the spec the Toyota dealer published on the internet inluded "TNS700 satnav with motorway mode and voice recognition".

Now I'm delighted with the car, but I can see no reference to the voice recognition bit, except a small section in the general handbook, as opposed to the audio one, which relates to radio commands. I believe there should also be a "voice activation" button on the steering wheel, but there isn't. Could someone please clarify the situation for me, and is it possible to retro fit this feature. I'm assuming the "motorway mode" bit is that nifty little depiction of the carriageway that comes on at motorway junctions.

Thanks in anticipation.
