Well, no one understood your question since it's not the correct term.

You mean Voice Command.

I know what you mean.

I've done NAV retrofit - (minus) voice function.

I have voice+mic pre-installed, but I decided to skip the voice function part.
(Mo' money mo' trouble)

Do you already have NAV?
or are you planning to retrofit NAV + voice function (mic+voice button)?

It must be a UK term

Voice Navigation (Voice Command) yes I have Sat Pro Nav - but no bluetooth or Voice Command, just think its cool to be able to say cd or nav or radi and your idrive moves to that option

you can buy voice retrofit kit part # 84640396162 and then enabling code #65836976392 which will require some coding. be advised, it's not quite as cool as you think it is for the money. I got it to restore voice dialing which I originally lost when I retrofitted the nav.

It has been a long time. I wonder if Felix can provide more info about how to have it fitted to the car if I buy the kit. What kind of programming tools needed?
