The command for climate control allows you to turn the system on and off, but not control the temperature. What's the deal?

There's a pdf on the Infiniti website called: "2008 Infiniti Voice Recognition Owner's Manual Supplement"
It starts off by saying: "The information contained in this owner’s manual supplement replaces all information related to the Voice Recognition System contained in the vehicle’s owner’s manual and the navigation system owner’s manual."
It's got a much shorter list of available voice commands. Anybody know what happend? Seems very strange to have a shorter list of options in a later model year. My guess is that the system wasn't recognizing the commands very well, so they limited the number of them.

Guess that happens when you have had it less than 24hrs..

Lack of understanding
This really frosts my shorts. How can anyone think that REMOVING commands would improve useability? For those that don't know the commands, they wouldn't use them. But for people who want to use as much of the car as possible (especially with the nav lock-out), having the complete list of '07 commands would come in very useful.
Sometimes I just don't understand car makers. People want more options not less....especially when there is no additional cost!
Wurst not First

I don't understand why some of the 08's have these commands and others don't.
Mine has them and also does the auto steering wheel raise thing as well.
Is it possible, that the car doesn't like your voice on these commands? Have you had a friend try them? I hav eno trouble with most commands, but I can never get it to recognize my home town name.

"XM 222" no-go.
Both "Satellite radio 222" and just "satellite 222" worked like a charm.
Sorry for the confusion.

Sorta made sense to me, but I would have liked to have a bit more day 1.
One thing was ironic, he was trying to show me the multi-command thing, like Temperature 77, etc.. And it wasn't working. It does appear that mine is one that has some of the commands removed or changed... I tried every combo I could think of to get multi-word commands to work...Not getting anywhere right now.
I can, however, confirm that the auto seat back and steering wheel raise on exit are still options.
My 08 has all options except the Tech Package.
Going back out to try the XM 222, etc commands now..
PITA
