I slam the idrive knob to the left and scroll 1 down to the <-- arrow symbol and hit it; it cancels the annoying lady

Thats good to know!!! Does anyone have a list of all the commands that will work?
Kinda like a cheat sheet you can leave in the glove box? I wish I used my voice prompts more!

Thanks

This is how I do it too, but if anyone's using their original older idrive software, those icons don't exist on the navi screen at all. They weren't on my 2004 idrive until I upgraded to 32.1

From now on I'll be using voice command "stop guidance"

DanL

thanks for the list.

What I did was go to the BMW webpage and look under owner's manuals. They have all the late model manuals, as well as some very simple videos on diferent subjects.

SO download the manual you need and look for the section on voice commands.
Then print the pages that are there. I put it in a (very)thin binder with some others for reference.

It is easier to read than the original manual and I dont want to lose/damage the original manual.
Also I reprinted the towing section and put it in the "tool kit".

BTW - A command that I use (which I think I made up) is "satellite channel (number)"
That goes directly to that channel. But you have to remember the channels you want - UGH
