"Dial by name"

[mjg216]

I have a bluetooth phone and heve entered a "voice tag" for each of my phone book entries. However, I cannot get the system to recognize the "Dial by Name" command. It will only dial by number. It's probably something very simple, but I can't solve the problem. Can anyone gove me some help? Thanks.

Dial by name
In my 2006 package #7,this is what I do to use voice dial:

* Press the talk switch on the steering wheel and say "dial by name"
* Jill says "Dial by name has been chosen. After the screen has updated please press the talk switch"
* Press the talk switch
* Jill says, "Please say the name"
* I say the name I have programmed to the number
* Jill says "Name chosen. Please briefly touch the talk switch or touch the off hook switch to dial"
* I press the off hook switch (telephone with receiver off the hook) and the call dials.

I hear the call dial, the person answers and I am good to go. I have dialed a name without touching the MFD, only the steering wheel.

The process is almost the same for dial by number, which I use to call a person that is not in my phonebook. There is one extra push of the talk switch, that seems like a glitch, but it still works.

When I have an incoming call, the radio cuts out, and I hear a generic ring through my car speakers, not my ring tone. Sometimes my phone will actually ring about a 1/2 a ring and then I hear the generic ring through the speakers. I haven't quite figured that one out yet.

You must have voice tags programmed to the numbers you have entered into the car's phonebook. If you have Verizon, you can't transfer your phone's phonebook, you will have to manually enter them one by one.

Couple things; you have your voice tags in your phone, and when you press the voice command switch on the steering wheel, you're really talking to the car and the car only - you're not activating anything about the phone at all.

The post above is totally correct, except the car doesn't use voice tags - it can recognize the name you're speaking, no pre-recording needed.

I had to record a name for each entry in the car. When Jill says "Williams chosen" it is my pre recorded voice that says williams

Really? In the same voice the car uses and not the phone? Mine doesn't do that. But I have a 2005.

my (pre recorded on the voice tag) voice says "williams"
Jill(the car voice) says "chosen. Please briefly touch the talk switch or press the off hook switch to dial"

The 2006 allows voice tags in the car for each phone book entry. Works like a charm.

I find if the car is parked the phone defaults to the say the number and you have to touch the screen to get dial by name. If I'm driving it seems to default to say the command and then I have the choice. A toggle would have been nice.

You are not alone, this must be a bug in the 07. Mine doesn't respond to a mere press of the talk button, I must first push the off-hook dial button then the talk switch then Jill occasionally says, "please say a command" . Too often she skips to, "please say the number". Posters so far have either had the problem or don't but no real answers on how to fix it......


Does your's have navigation? Mine does not and I suspect the posters that have no issue with this also have the navigation unit.

On my 06 I must press the off hook button first to get the voice button to work. No nav.
