Do you use Voice Commands?

[tobywuk]

Does anyone use the voice commands with the bluetooth kit?

I used it for a bit when i first had the car but i dont bother any more. its much quicker just to dial the number on the phone.

Has anyone had any success speaking the number you want to dial? Doesn't work well for me, must be my northern accent!

My Northern accent seems to agree with the car...for most of the time!

I've spent a whole evening trying and have only managed to add TWO contacts.

It's frustrating getting to the very end of the addition, saying STORE, only to hear, STAR 2 or PARDON? or CANCEL

Mine works fine, though it does get a bit confused when voice-dialing names..... need to change the way I say some of the names (mainly the tone of my voice).


However, noticed that they changed the voice commands from the first batch of Leons (circa 55 plate - Leon TDi Sport) and the newer models (circa 07 plate - TDi FR).

For my old Sport I could press the button and used just the 'dial' command..... now I have to say 'dial name'.......

Strange...... maybe they updated the firmware?!?


Also in my old Sport, the bluetooth was prone to hanging (ie not switching back to radio at end of call)... doesn't seem to happen in the new FR!

Does anyone have a list of commands for me or know where I can find a list... it is the one feature I have never even tried to use on my car

Voice recognition is a bit of a gimmick in my view, had it on an old nokia mobile phone and it worked about 1 in 5.

I mainly use the leons voice recog when im on the motorway and I want to dial a number I know, saves taking eyes off rd, but then it would be still quicker to have a quick glance at the dash and look it up in the phonebook.

in spanish at least the numbers are easy to say to the machine but others commands like store the idiotic thing says cancel or call and it says cancel annoying
