Understand for a moment that I agree with you. Keep this in mind. I don't really wish to be driving and talking at the phone at the sametime.
But handsfree calling is technically not illegal where I live. So in the odd times where I have to make a phone call while driving (again I really dont want to do this until I'm forced too), It shouldn't be a pain in the ass. Right now it actually forces me to pickup my phone if the person isn't on speed dial. Techically that makes my driving situation worse, not better!!
Do you see what I'm saying though? It's not exactly hands free anymore if you get above a specific speed. It becomes more hands on and in turn, puts the driver in a bad scenerio.
Futher more, I can't be the first person who's had this problem. Can you imagine how many FR-S owners are out there right now trying to use this system and are struggling with it? That to me is WAY more dangerous considering, its not clearly obvious that options are disabled at speed in the manual.
Think of it this way, if they didn't want you to play with the phone book because its "too distracting" or "too unsafe" then why even bother letting the driver control the stereo at all? Why not lock out all the controls above a certian speed? Why exactly is the line drawn at the phonebook?
It still doesn't make any sense to me. But it is what it is.
