Hi Gearhead--I got my RCF 2 days ago. Went out for a cruise last night and tried the voice activation and it worked just fine. I have a 64 gig stick with close to 1000 albums on it. So--it DOES work. Also, the first time I tried using voice to find an album, I got the message that it was "preparing for voice control" and would not work right away. So it must read the stick and do something that enables it in the future.

I didn't format the stick at all...just took it out of the package and started to put music on it. It's set up with folders Artist/Album (or albums)/Songs. There is 1 song ( usually the shortest song from any one of the albums from that artist) placed in the artist folder. I wanted to mention in my other post that I pushed the talk button and gave the verbal command to play something several times before I got that message that it was preparing the stick for voice recognition. For several attempts I just got the reply that it didn't recognize it. Keep trying and it will tell you it's preparing. I'm not sure how long it takes to prepare it. I just drove a while and then tried it again and it worked. I'm thinking you need to prepare for voice recognition each time you start the car. I'm still figuring out all the stuff myself! Had a heck of a time to figure out how to get the audio screen to be the permanent one instead of the Nav. But that's part of the fun of a new car

Well...voice activation needs to be done every time you fire up the car I've learned. Seems to take about 5-10 minutes for it to initialize. Once it does, it breaks down your music into several alphabetical groups...like A-D, E-H, etc. I have about 1000 albums on my 64 gig stick. And this makes it real easy to access whatever I want. Really nice. If you still aren't getting voice recognition, I think the key might be putting that one song into the artist folder
