My Ride: 2006 550i, Alpine White, Beige Ltr, Sport Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg, Premium Sound, Active Steering, Comfort Access, Steptronic, Nav, Satellite Radio, Split Fold Rear Seats, V1
When I am programing the address into the Nav system by voice entry, I get stuck on the house number and it never seems to accept the voice entry properly. For example, if I try to enter 5432 as a house number, it does not take the entry if I say:
Five thousand four hundred thirty two
or
five, four, three, two
or
five and four and three and two
et cetera.
What am I doing wrong???

Thanx guys - do I pause for a prompt between numbers or do I just rattle off the numbers with clarity in a single string?

I've found that saying the numbers at a normal rate of speed, as if you were leaving a message for someone on the telephone is the right way to do it.

I didn't even know you could enter an address by voice! 
I've tried it, but the system ignores me. I wrote it off as not being capable of voice entry for navigation...
And, yes, I

!Yes you may program the nav by voice. Press the voice command button once and wait for the beep. Command string is:
Navigation
New destination
Enter address (system responds with "what part of the address would you like to enter?"
State
City
Street
House Number (this is where I was hanging up)
Start
