5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
I have programmed a bunch of phone numbers into the Camry with Nav and I wanted to enter my voicemail number into a speed dial.
I entered the number, 555-123-4567 followed by a (P) pause and the passcode: 5551234567p1234. I even tried the (W) wait. Neither will let the phone get past the telephone number. In the Treo the pause stops things for a few seconds and then sends the passcode. It the Camry program it stops after the number is dialed and never continues.

I hope you do not mind that we all now call your voicebox? Hope that is not the real number/passcode! Take care.
PS: Have not tried to do that on my Nav but agree that the manual is pretty much worthless.
Thanks, I will post the solution here... if I ever find it. I know it will do it. The question is how? At least I finally got my Treo to talk to the Camry.

I can't help you right now as I am traveling, but try to use more than one pause ....I got my phones connected pretty easy and also address book transfer worked fine.

haha, sorry for spam, but that was a funny blonde moment.

I guess I am a little confused by the response. If one pause stops the passcode from being sent, how will more pases make that better? The pasue is programmed into the Camry, not ther treo. Al we are doing is sending tones from the Camry to the Treo. When I add a pause, everything stops after the phone is dialed (no passcode and no way to make it send them).

In many mobile devices pause does not stop the dialing process entirely but only pauses it for a certain amount of time (and sometimes waits for a response signal) before proceeding. As I said, I do not know how the Camry nav is setup to do that.
It isn't pausing between Treo and Camry, the Camry only passes through the tones of your Treo. It should be the same as dialing with your Treo. Are you sure that your Treo supports this functionality through it's native bluetooth profiles?

No I am not sure of anything. Palm is my customer so I will try to talk to the Bluetooth engineer. When dialing through the Treo it sends the number and then sends DTMF tones after the pause because the voicemail is now connected and it wants to hear audio. It works just fine. I would expect the Camry to do the same. Once the Treo is connected to voicemail via bluetooth and a pause is initiated, the camry should just send DTMF to the phone via the audio channel and it would work fine. The camry allows me to bring up the DTMF keypad and manually enter the passcode and that puts out audio (DTMF) so why not do the same thing after the connect via the Pause feature. I really don't think this is a bluetooth issue.
Anyway, this is a Toyota forum, not an IEEE discussion. I am a microwave/wireless Engineer and you're not going to convince me that it isn't a simple Toyota fix that should work on any phone. There isn't even a description of the Pause and Wait functions in the manual.
Thanks for the support guys. I guess we will put this to bed and I will enter the pass code manually.

Wireless makes a good point that the NAV unit simply forwards the Treo signals. Look at your Treo when the NAV unit dials the number and sends the pause signal...what does the Treo screen say? Does it say it sends the pause signal you would expect? If not, I guess the bluetooth connection does not have that command option. If yes, it really should work assuming it works with your treo...

You guys are correct. I does send the pause signal and the phone pauses, but the rest of the string never gets sent. It could be that the handshake from the Treo never comes back. How about a bluetooth system that is actually consistant from model to model...but that's another discussion.
