Voice control

McGary911 · 01-13-2018, 02:14 PM

I sometimes forget this car has it. Before I took delivery, I saw a post with all the voice control options. It was extensive. It looked like homework.

I forgot about it until last week. Another thread was talking about tire pressure accuracy. One guy suggested putting tire pressure on one of the 8 presets, which sounded like a good idea. Before doing that, I remembered the voice thing. “Tire pressure”. Lo and behold the iDrive switched my display. Saved me a preset.

The other night I had the urge to hear an old song on the hd but didn’t want to deal with all the scrolling. I just hit the voice button and said the song name. It came right on. Very cool.

I’m not gonna memorize that list of commands in the other thread, but will just try saying stuff and see what happens. I’ve been pleasantly surprised so far.

What’s the voice command you’ve found to be most useful?

If you can link to the post with the list of voice commands, I'd appreciate it. I've searched with no luck. Thanks in advance.

I can't seem to find it now either? Crap. If I run across it, I'll post for sure. It was pretty extensive.
