Nice that we will finally be coming into the 21st century with something that actually recognizes your voice...unlike our pitiful systems in our cars...

I'm not sure what you mean by your comment.... but my 2008 voice recognition rarely makes a mistake. It recognizes my commands most of the time and is a great help when calling numbers from my address book or entering a new destination information. Sorry it doesn't work so well for you...

It is a new VRS . I also VRS on my 2008. But unlike you, I get few mistakes on the voice recognition.

Tried that command ... the climate system went to Max AC.

Also tried "front machine guns", "smoke screen", and "ejector seat" and got nothin'. :thumbsdown:
