In theory one should say "Aux Menu" and the I-Pod Menu pop up. When I say that it says "Door Locks". I have tried saying it in German accented English, just like the Nav Voice, in addition to my usual American English. Nothing works after repeated attempts. Other than that the voice commands when I say them work perfectly. Is there another voice command to access the I-Pod?

If it's an available option, I suggest you say "options" while different menus are displayed to hear what the car is expecting.
I used one of my favorites buttons to immediately switch over to the AUX/USB interface...

Per the manual, the voice command is 'Audio Aux'.

Audio Aux does not work either. This appears to be another flaw in the car. In general Voice Command works quite well, except for this flaw.

Saying iPod does not work. I have tried that repeatedly.

The manual says "Audio Aux". The Voice Command says "Aux Menu" after say "Entertainment", then I say "Options". Neither work. Looks like I found a flaw.
