few navi voice command questions

I have a 2011 x5 35xdrive with navi

questions are as follows

1. in my 2008 335xi i had a voice command "route lilst" that when spoken would should be the turn by turn list after i activated route guidance... I cant seem to figure this option out with the X5. It doesnt respond to that voice command nor can i find it playing with the menus.... I find this very usefull when reviewing a route that the computer plots. Seeing if i want to travel certain roads.

2. with the 335xi when my phonebook loaded via bluetooth i was able to dial "Mike Cell" as long as i spoke the command "Dial Mike Cell"... it would start dialing.
What am I doing wrong with the x5? The phone books is loaded via bluetooh but it doesnt dial with voice commands.

Please help.

1 - Can't help with this as I haven't use this command

2 - You should say "Phone Book" this will bring you to your phone book, then it will prompt you for a name. You can then say the "person's" name and it will ask to "Dial" and you reply, it will start dailing.

This is the quickest way I have found so far...

Yes its possible to preview a route, it gives you a list of the turns. I was able to do this sometime this week, I will go through the process again today and let you know how to get to this. I was not using voice commands though.

Update
Ok, I figured it out, with the destination set, just hit the voice activation button and say "route information".
