Default XC60 Voice Control

Does anyone use it? I prefer the mute button for the stereo that used to be in its place.

Regards

I have tried it but unfortunately it doesn't understand my Scottish accent, so not much use to me.

All the time. I think it's great and I come from Northumberland originally.
I'm happy with a quick press of the power button to mute the radio.
The one thing Volvo really got right on these cars was the voice control IMHO.

Can't quite get "Ga'an canny" to work for the cruise control though ;-)

I must say that I do use and have had voice control on other devices and this is the only one that I have been able to work with my accent. I Find it excellent and makes things easier to complete especially setting up navigation with the sat nav

Occasionally, but then realise it's quicker to press the button normally.....
