I have about given up trying to use voice commands, except for finding "Chinese restaurants," which seems to work pretty well. Not that big a deal as talking out loud to a machine makes me feel like an idiot anyway. But it sounds like others are having better luck with the functionality of this feature.

Plus, I find the whole voice command thing just more time consuming than if i were to just push the button myself.

I found these on the RX site, I still don't think either of these are everything but still pretty comprehensive.

Does anybody know how to get the dial by name function to work?
Thanks

I dont like the Voice command... its very unreliable... That and I'm still trying to figure out if the voice commands are screen depenent. When I'm in NAV mode I say "Radio AM" it shows all the "ATMs."
Thats only one example. I cant get a lot of the commands to work.

It works fine as long as you say the right words in the right screen.

Feel free to iterate through all the screens and write them down though.

Say the word "help" or press the help button..
on the screen to get a list of about 99% of the commands. some commands have changed from earlier models and still some of the earlier versions still work like "I'm hungry". That is a general command as compared to "nearest Thai food" and "showlist" after that and you have all of the Thai restaurants listed by proximity to your location. After successfully getting the system to do your bidding say "hide all icons" which will clear the screen of previously called up icons.
If you want to make a "dial by name" first you have to record a voice tag for the phone book listing of your choice. While in the edit/entry page scroll down to the voice recognition and follow the prompts to record your own phone commands. You get 20 of those. Now to execute.. Push the phone off the hook switch on the steering wheel. Now push the voice command and after the beep say "dial by name". It will ask for the command and if it confirms the correct listing push the phone off the hook button again for about a second. It should dial it for you. The speed dials are actually faster and you get 17 of those but you have to make a few stabs of the screen while you are driving, your choice depending on the traffic conditions...
Voice commands take practice so try perfecting a few that are 90% reliable before impressing your friends with your omnipotence....
