Samsung S4 Voice Integration
Hi,
Just discovered something that maybe very useful for all who use Samsung phones. I have a 2014 328 with Tech package (iDrive has MN-002.002 & TN-002.018.005 after applying UPD05021) and a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, running Android 4.4.2. I am able to use Samsung S Voice through the car; in other words, I can activate S Voice using long push on steering wheel button and have S Voice execute and annunciate commands (comes out over car's speakers):
You can easily tell the difference between the BMW and Samsung Voices -- Samsung's sound very artificial and S Voice sometimes has difficulties figuring out what you are saying. Having said that, however, it is pretty useful -- now, if we only had EMail! Hope that helps!
