Camry 2012+ :: Entune Voice Control Function - Chime / Ding Doesn't Sound That Prompts To Speak

While you're driving you can't type anything into the navigation or Bing, or whatever. So you're forced to use the voice control function.

When you push the voice control button it asks, "What would you like to do?" followed by a quick chime/ding that prompts you to speak. That's what it used to do when it worked.

Here's what it does now: I push the voice button, it asks, "What would you like to do?" BUT, the chime/ding doesn't sound and the system goes back to whatever screen I was on prior to pushing the voice button.

When I push the button after that, it does nothing. Voice command does not work for several minutes. The button becomes useless.

THEN, several minutes more pass by and the entire system restarts. Toyota logo comes on, "Warning be aware of surroundings ....." And it is ONLY after the system restarts itself that voice command works as it should. But this is unacceptable. Shouldn't take 15 minutes before it restarts itself before it works.
