Once you know what the phrase is for what you want to do, then from then on say it directly. I just cannot see why seemingly intelligent and articulate people cannot get a grip on something so simple. I don't use it for everything but am using it for more and more adjustments the more I drive the car. I've recently set my car to start with the seat and steering heat to come on at the middle setting when the car is started and then use voice control to adjust them or. most often to switch them off. To change from DAB to FM. To set internal temperature and adjust one different to the other. To phone. To set navigation destination and to cancel it. It does work and work well. Welsh names is its downfall when it comes to phoning, but there is the option of using the steering buttons and list in the dash for most used or return calls. There are almost always alternative controls for what you wish to do which are more distracting than using voice. For this reason I do wish that the Stop-Start function could be voice controlled.

"Turn off fan", "Raise fan speed", "Lower fan speed" and "Climate" followed by "auto" or "Turn on auto" are all valid options.

All good advice but the best advice to give anyone if they have a concern or problem is to read the on line manual at home before writing a post, then write the question and answer or lack of it for other members benefit. Some or all of the recent voice questions would have been covered.

I hope it doesn't sound patronising when I repeat that it is simple and that the system 'Help' is there to guide the newbie every time. Plus there's the manual, I the dash and on the app, which requires the operator to actually RTFM.

"Help" is your only option - the manual is very sparce on Voice instructions - or it's accurate but there is poor integration.
I assumed anything on the Sensus could be controlled by Voice Recognition - like Reduced Guard ON and Camera ON, but this is not seemingly possible. I'd like a series of use programmable buttons on the bottom panel of the Sensus - as opposed to the last app used. Like an Android Widget. I can dream.....

"Help" works fine.
Shows a disappointingly short list of areas it can control. I appreciate it can be updated, but in this Siri/Alexa age - it's all very underwhelming.

I believe Alexa can also be fitted. I saw a video of it being fitted to some car's system about a year ago. In which case and if Amazon Prime music is subscribed to, then it should be streamable to the car. I do use Prime Music on mine through Bluetooth and all it takes is to create a playlist in Prime Music so that the whole playlist is available rather than having to choose individual tracks, one at a time or artist at a time, and ideally, to download the content rather than use data to stream every time.

On the face of it - it's a bit wasteful for each marque to spend millions on their own R&D even though ultimately, the drivers are looking for the same functions behind the car's UI, whatever the brand. |
