Default 2010 Voice Command Lousy

Does this system work at all. It's almost impossible to enter an address and I look funny talking to the headliner.

I couldn't agree more.

The 2010 was supposed to have improved voice recognition but I didn't see it either. I eventually gave up using it. I would think the new gen ES system would have to be better.

Even my non nav 08 is pretty fun sometimes. *listening* "Setup" --> car responds with "Cancelled." about 50% of the time.... I can see how this would be even more frustrating with something like an address on a Nav equipped system.

Funny they'd install something like that. Cheapens the whole.

I forget which years it extended to since I had an 07 but there was a tsb on the voice recognition (poor word recognition) on the navigation which ran concurrent to a tsb in which the navigation would place you in the wrong area on the map.

The only voice command I used while I owned the car was "automatic climate control on" and that was just to show people that there was a voice command feature. It's a pretty useless feature to be honest. It takes 50x the time it would take me to manually type in an address vs using the voice command.
