Default 2 issues....

ok number one what is the deal with the voice commands.....they are the worst functioning feature on any car i've ever encountered in my life.

they are literally worthless.....i'll say a command and it will come up with something that an alien wouldn't think was recognizable. i'll try to make a phone call and it will show government building icons or zoom the map fully in.

is there some calibration i need to set up or is this just standard for everyone?

second is for some reason with my bluetooth everytime i try to make an outgoing call the first attempt fails and says "call terminated by the network" and i have to wait for the system to reset and then the 2nd attempt always works perfectly.

anyone else deal with this?

thanks.

ps: i plasti dipped all my emblems and the chrome trim around the headlight housings and front grill and vinyl wrapped the chrome trim on the windows and the bottom of the doors. i also tinted the tail lights. it turned out awesome. i'll take some pics in the light and post them up in the next day or 2.

Hahaha. I forgot all about the voice command in this car. It's worthless and I myself punching in what I want a lot faster than dealing with the run around of the voice command. I hate the whole navigation system of this car.
My Bluetooth connection is good with an iPhone. Works flawlessly in both phone call and music streaming. Only complaint is the whole damn keypad is locked when in drive. Again, this goes back to the whole safe-lock of the navigation screen rendering it useless when the vehicle is in motion.

bluetooth works flawless on my SGS II T989 (t-mobile's SGSII).

We don't get music streaming though. I don't know about voice commands because I don't have navi

at this point the voice command is like a running gag in the car.
say something totally clearly that is a listed command function and try and guess what absurd action its going to come up with!

would be great fun if i had kids.

i too forgot about the voice command. it seem to take a big network to do correct voice recognision . Even the phone can't do it without the network.
