Methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing feedback to a vehicle operator of the number series which has been entered into a vehicle telephone. In one example, a control for the system captures the entered signal and provides audio feedback of the captured signal. If the audio feedback is not the number the operator intended to enter, then the operator may change the number. If the number is correct, then the operator completes the call. In one embodiment, the control is provided with access to a phone directory system, and the audio feedback includes identifiaction of the state, city and individual location which has been dialed. In further embodiments, the system is provided with voice recognition software such that the operator may enter a number by verbally requesting the number or location. In further modifications, the feedback may be visual rather than audio. In the visual feedback embodiments, the numbers are displayed at a location such that the operator may see the number without diverting attention from the road or looking at the telephone. The several embodiments provide feedback to the operator of a number which has been entered into a vehicle-based telephone system, without requiring the operator to divert attention from the road.
