I've tried the voice command to dial a phone number but have problems...the system can't seem to recognize my English...gosh...looks like I may have to learn to speak English with German accent. I just can't get it to recognize one full telephone number despite speaking 1 number at a time, 2 numbers at a time, 3 numbers at a time, etc. The numbers 0, 3, 7, 8, 9 are the ones with the most errors.
The other problem is that I can't get my phone book (Nokia 3230) to syn with the car's. Tried all means but unsuccessful. However, the bluetooth works ok most of the time, with occasional disconnection.

I was just testing out some stuff on my car. I have Nav Pro and Bluetooth but, as far as i can tell, n voice commands at all!! Can this be activated by my dealer, is it just a software tweak or does it require additional hardware????

I have Business navigation. My I-drive menu is in English but the bluetooth/voice activation fraulein speaks German to me. My bluetooth manual has a list of the voice commands in English only. Same for the pdf's on this site. Can someone please:
1. Point me to a list of voice commands in German ( I can speak basic German).
2. Tell me how to switch the bluetooth module to English (manual claims it should mirror the I-drive language).
Thanks from Poland

Although BMW phone owners (CPT9000) can enjoy voice control over their phone, only owners of the NAV option (Nav Professional in Europe) can enjoy voice control over entertainment, climate, car settings, and navigation. Voice command adds tremendously to the efficiency of using iDrive. Again, in the U.S., voice command of anything other than phone requires the NAV option.
Initially cars built with NAV did not have the voice control system activated however as of February 2004 it is activated by the factory. If your car was built prior to February 2004 your dealer should be able to activate the voice command system for you.
If you have any additions or comments please post them below for other forum members and web site visitors to read.

My Ride: My Bimmer's info is in my sig, so I'll tell you about my garage toy. It's a 1997 Porsche Boxster. The car is black on black and I have replaced every single thing on the car (interior, exterior, drivetrain, suspension) except for the sheet metal and the convertible top (both of which will be next I guess). I love my Pcar more than any other car I have ever owned and will probably keep it for the rest of my life.
Porsche. There is no substitute.
I have voice control and it rarely gets my commands right. It's a disappointing feature.

Hello,
I also have the voice command system, however; it asks for command, and no matter what I say, it doesnt get it. Seems like I am missing that extended package. I have 2006, 530I without Nav. Can I have that extended package, and most importantly, is there a DIY?
Thanks.

No one's been here in a while, but I have the voice command option, checked at the dealer for latest updates and appropriate modules, but nothing happens when I push either button that's supposed to activate it - no beep, nothing. The dealership can only suggest turning a tech loose on it at $135/hr until he finds the problem.
