Do you use voice commands? For what functions?

I haven't used it, but from the list of commands, it looks like you could steer the car with it.

Hardly use it when others are in the car. Phone function is not good it randomly calls people I don't intend. CD track selection is ok but only if i want a specific track otherwise use the steering wheel buttons. Selecting a radio frequency works ok. For navigation it's a slow process to enter addresses but sometimes i have to use it. Randomly it will select scan CD or the information menu when issuing unrelated commands!

I use it for entertainment (CD track, FM etc). I also use it for shortcut to any of the service menus. During winter I used a lot for heat seat distribution, basic navigation function (except feeding address) and phone. Some times I get it to work nicely some time it would just do some random stuff.

My car doesn't understand me. I gave up.

the only time I use it, is for fun with the kids. we pick something, say the voice command then laugh with the random result!!
