Volkswagen - Jetta :: Bluetooth - Voice Command Doesn't Work Well At All


Nov 15, 2014

My wife and I bought two 2014 Jetta TDI's. What a great Turbo engine. We like a lot about the cars. There is a problem with both cars, the same problem. The voice command doesn't work well at all.  When I say call Volkswagen, for example, it doesn't understand the command. On rare occasion, it will recognize a name.The dealer put in a new voice module, but it still doesn't work. My wife's car has the same issue.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2010 - Steering Wheel Voice / Command Button Won't Work?

I recently purchased a used 2010 GTI with the Autobahn Package, leather seats, Nav, the 510 nav/sound system unit etc. The steering wheel has the button on it that would normally be used to control phone or sound system functions by voice, but when I press it, it acts much like the phone button on the bottom left of the radio/media unit - ie. it mutes the radio, but doesn't do much else. I just wanted to check if that is normal behavior or if the fact that I have that button on my steering wheel mean that it is supposed to function?

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Disable Voice Command Confirmations?

I feel the extra step to 'confirm' your command defeats the whole purpose of making things faster and easier with voice recognition.

me - "warmer"
car - "warmer?"
me - "yes"
car- "yes"

any way to disable it?

me - "warmer"

that's it.

Prius (Gen 3) :: 2010 - Nav System Voice Command Customization?

1-week owner of 2010 Prius III with Nav system. Still trying to absorb all the user manual stuff.

My question: can I customize the audio menu to a shorthand list of commands? Example, instead of verbalizing "dial by name" make the verbal menu choice say, "name".

Prius V (Audio/Electronics) :: Voice Command List?

I recently bought a Prius 3 and am very happy with its mechanical performance and fuel efficiency, but the driver interface sucks for the electronics. I'm used to my 2008 Mercedes S550, which may be an unfair comparison, but I really hate having to take my eyes off the road and reach across the dash to use a touch screen. I do like filling the tank for $25 rather than $70, though

I have tried a few voice commands with mixed results. Sometimes I get the requested result, sometimes I get a random (or no) response, and sometimes I strangely get a message to the effect that this function is not available while driving, even though I can get it via touch-screen while driving.

I found on the Mercedes there are a few commands I use often, and a huge number that I have no interest in. They are easy to find from either a tree structure in the manual or an alphabetized list grouped by the subsystem.

From searching the manual and the various Prius forums it appears that there is no readily-available comprehensive list of commands. The manual seems to give only examples and implies that you can step through the on-screen menu trees by voice, giving occasional examples. But I've had very little success with that. I also don't like having to take my eyes off the road to read the list at each level or having the car speak the list, which is way too slow. Both take too much concentration away from driving. With the Mercedes I can usually activate a command directly even if it is several levels down in a tree (e.g. "navigate to <a stored destination>") while an audio screen is displayed.

I have found a few lists online, but they don't agree with each other and seem to be from 5-10-year-old models. In general, they seem to list far more commands than I see on my screens.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Voice Command - Asking For Directions For A Specific Business?

How you can ask for directions for a specific business?

For example:

Find "Home Depot"
Find "Ruth Chris Steakhouse"

I'm really impressed with how easy entering an address is (and how accurate the voice recognition is), but could not find a command that would allow me to directly find a route to a business name.

Prius (2010-12) :: Nav Recognizes Voice Command But Won't Show Destination

I'm driving so we all know what that means. Useless nav. So I decide to give the voice recognition a try just for the heck of it, since I know my garmin will give me the answer I need within seconds. So I ask the nav to find nearest ATM. It understood me perfectly, but NO MATCHES FOUND! Really. No atms?

The garmin came up with at least 10 matches within a mile of where I was (which was downtown Orlando Florida btw, not like I'm in the middle of some unpopulated desert or something.) So far I have not.

I didn't run over any nuns or children while I was using the garmin either. The speed lockout crap pipes me off to no end, but I guess it's irrelevant now that I know that the nav is completely non functional anyways. Looking forward to seeing what after market navs will be compatible with 2012's. The only thing of interest I have seen on that screen is the 30 minute mpg bar-graph which I would gladly live without for a working system though.

Prius V (Audio/Electronics) :: No (Go Home) Command For Voice Navigation

I have a 2011 Prius with DVD Navigation, and now a 2012 Prius V. I cannot believe there is no "Go Home" command for voice navigation on the new system. This makes no sense whatsoever.

Does this system can be updated either on the fly or at the dealer in the future? The voice recognition is not nearly as good as on the 2011 system.

Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Voice Command System Volume Very Low

Even though I have my 2013 Prius for 2 months, I just started trying the voice command system. I find that the volume of the voice prompts are very very low, and can't figure out how to raise that volume. The volume controls on the steering wheel have no effect, the radio volume control knob doesn't do anything, and there's no icon on the audio/navigator screen to make the voice prompts any louder (that I can see or find). It's probably something real easy and I'm just missing it, right?

Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Voice Call Command Is Grayed Out?

I have a 2013 model 4 with the solar sunroof pkg, which included the upgraded audio, center console display. Just recently the Voice CALL command stopped working. My phone was recently re-paired with the car's Bluetooth and does work. After pressing the voice button on the steering wheel, I am prompted for a command. I say CALL "<first name> <last name>" and the response is "Pardon". On the voice command screen on the center console display, only the CALL command is greyed out. The DIAL command as well as the other common commands are highlighted.

Jetta - Volkswagen :: 2003 TDI Doesn't Start In Cold Weather And When It Does It Smokes Much

My 2003 VW Jetta TDI has a major problem. The engine has likely been damaged by an oil leak that was not discovered until the oil ran out. I now have much reduced compression (340lbs or less) and the car doesn't like to start in cold weather and when it does it smokes much. I need to know if it is worth rebuilding and, if so, where I might have this work done.

Camry :: Paired IPhone 4 To Bluetooth - Speech Command System Stopped Working

My dad just purchased a 2010 Toyota Camry and once we paired my iPhone 4 to the Bluetooth system, the speech command system stopped working.

Did something go wrong during the process? The bluetooth system is working perfectly fine as in the music will play as well as receiving phone calls. However, when I want to pair a second phone to the system, the speech command system wont work and it would just take the screen to the start with it saying "welcome". Normally, it would take you to the setup of pairing a phone, but this time it takes me back to the "welcome" part when you start the car.

Prius (2004-09) :: Bluetooth Won't Connect As No Voice During Call?

I have a Sprint HTC Hero. It worked fine on my Prius. I upgraded the phone from Android 1.5 to 2.1. I thought all was OK because the phone would connect to the car. The problem is that when I make a call or someone calls me everything looks OK until someone talks. Nothing. No voices. I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me.
