Voice control not working
When i press the voice control button, nothing happens. I tried it several times but it doesn't seem to work. Do I need to activate it somehow?

Are you giving it a command? For example if you have navigation and you have your home address programmed pressing the button and saying "Home" will tell the navigation system to set home as your destination. Or saying "help" will prompt the system to give you information on how to use it, there are some built in tutorials on what the commands are that can be accessed by saying help.
I will offer that I have played with it a little bit and the voice feature is not very user friendly. The Ford Sync voice system is a lot more friendly to use. |

You mean, it doesn't provide feedback (like a beep) and just sits there waiting for you to say something?

I found out now that the voice comand only works if you have selected english language in settings, other languages are not supported. Is it possible to keep english language for the voice command but have another one for the I-Drive?

Is it possible that with only hands-free + usb (without nav) there is no speech recognition, even if the cell phone/mobile phone is capable of it?

Hehe , tried to shout but she didn't listen. I changed the language in settings to english and now it works perfectly, before I didn't even get at beep or anything.

Thanks, so far it seems that only English and German is supported for voice command.

I've discovered that sometimes immediately after turning on my car the voice command system doesn't work. I have to wait a bit, and then I get the beep letting me know I can start talking. It seems it has to boot-up or something. (e.g., I start the car, and want to use voice commands to enter a new address to navigate to. I press the voice button the steering wheel, and nothing. 1 minute later, I press the voice button, and it works. Just have to wait a bit for some reason. Not sure why it doesn't work immediately upon turning the car on.)

Do you need a special package to have the voice command option? Mine doesn't work (in either English, Spanish or German - my options).

Same issue. 2016 M Sport. It has the button but it's as functional as a paper umbrella.
Double checked the brochure and, yup, it's an optional extra! Why not blank-off the button? Annoying to have it staring at me every single day... especially when my last car (2012 F30 Luxury) had this feature and now I've 'lost this functionality' :| So... Also appears I cannot order it from my dealership - no retrofit 'part' or 'coding'.... really?!?! Any advice? 320d M Sport with no added options other than paint and seat colour choices. |

Thank you, thank you. The Voice Command Button stopped working a week ago: no icon appeared, no voice response although English was the chosen language in Settings. I simply confirmed the choice of English in Settings and now it is working just fine.
