My Ride: Black E60 M5
Default

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm a new owner of a E60 M5 and have spent most of my 2 days ownership getting to grips with all the cars functions. I've gone through the entire manual looking for what exactly the extended voice control can do.

Does anyone here know of a document or link where the full list of the voice commands exists. At the moment I'm a mad man shouting at the car.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Also the best thing to do on any screen is simply say Options. And you'll be told what all you can do on that screen via the Voice Commands.

Thanks very helpful pdf

I've just got Black M5 Saturday with loads of toys etc. Shame the car satelite navigation doesn't have a alarm for speed cameras as I forsee the threat to my licence.

I used to own an Evo and I knew that I was going fast, in this thing I lose any sense of speed.

What is the owners scene like in and around London for M5 owners? Be nice to find someone who knows these cars inside out.

Also check this out from Tec Accessories: http://www.tecaccessories.com/produc...duct.php?II=15

The put the more frequently used voice commands onto a couple of color coded cards for easy reference.

Not sure that be a good for me. The whole idea of the voice command was to keep my eyes on the road. I would advise looking at the cards etc during a journey its asking for trouble.

I'll try learn all the commands when I got time. A little Quantum Memory Power ought to do it.

Tha's a mean looking motor you have there.

Thanks for the compliment.

I just figured the cards can be used for easy reference if you forget or at least, it's a shorter list to remember than the 13 pages from the link to the commands on this forum. Funny thing is although I was excited to get them, I've looked at the cards once since they arrived and only remember one command thus far: SAT Radio Menu.
