4. Speech recognition (only with CD 600 IntelliLink and Navi 950 IntelliLink)
Q: Which voice commands does the infotainment system's speech recognition support?
A: Here are some examples of the most important supported voice commands:
"Call Anna Smith". Please refer to the sorting order of your phone book (sorting of phone book).
"Read SMS"
"Play artist Mozart"
"Play song Imagine"
"Tune FM YouFM"
"Help"
"Set Verbose On", "Set Verbose Off" (see voice prompts too long)
"Navigation", then choose between "Address", "Point of Interest" or "Go Home"
For addresses, use the order indicated on the screen. E.g. for addresses in Germany and Austria say the city
first, followed by street and house number. E.g. for addresses in UK and France first say the house number,
followed by the street and city.
Q: How can I improve the speech recognition performance?
A: Try to speak naturally with moderate speed, loudness and accentuation. Wait for the beep tone and speak
afterwards. You can find a list of valid voice commands here.
Q: When using the speech recognition, the voice prompts of the infotainment system are way too long. How can I
interrupt those prompts and directly say a voice command?
A: The voice prompts can be interrupted at any time by pressing the speech recognition button on the steering
wheel. Wait for the beep tone and speak afterwards. You can completely deactivate all voice prompts by saying
"Set Verbose Off". To active voice prompts again, simply say "Set Verbose On".
Q: I heard the infotainment system supports the speech recognition of certain smartphones that are connected via
Bluetooth
with the infotainment system (e.g. Apple Siri or Google Voice). How can I access the smartphone speech
®
recognition in my vehicle?
A: To access the smartphone speech recognition with the infotainment system, press and hold the voice control
button on the steering wheel for a couple of seconds. Please note that some functions of the smartphone speech
recognition might require a 3G or 4G internet connection.
Q: Why can't I call a contact from my phone book using the speech recognition?
A: First, make sure the infotainment system has access to your phone book. Depending on the sorting order of your
phone book, you might need to say first name follow by last name or the other way round.
Q: Why can't I use the speech recognition for entering an abroad navigation address?
A: With the speech recognition, you can only enter addresses, whose native language matches with the set system
language of your infotainment system. For example, with an infotainment system set to German, you could enter
an Austrian address with the speech recognition but not a French address.
