Voice activated Dialing question

[Deaconblues]

Pardon me for partially hijacking this thread, but in a smiliar vein, I'm confused as to whether I can voice dial while the car is moving (I've just set up the phone today).

When I tested the setup today, it seems to me that you can only voice dial when the phone book screen is present, but on my 2008, the phone book button is "grayed out" while the car is moving and the only button that I can activate is speed dial (and I can't voice dial from the speed dial screen).

What am I missing here? Surely there must be a way to voice dial while the car is moving.

While moving, begin by pressing the Off-hook switch. That will put the speed dial screen on the MFD.
Now press the VR talk switch, and say "dial by name", or "dial by number". If you chose name, It will then take you to the phonebook screen ,where you press the talk switch and it prompts for name. (Contact names must have been previously recorded by you).
IF you choose number, it will take you to the keypad screen and when you push the talk switch it will prompt for the number.

Voice recognition works really well for me, but the process is tedious because of all the back-and-forth command-response stuff gets old. I just use speed dials for the routine numbers and my actual phone for the rest.

It all works the same way when you are not moving, but you can begin the "dial..." commands with the talk switch from any screen. (The fact you have begin by pushing the off-hook switch ,while moving, is a flaw IMHO> (Otherwise the command-response routine has an unnecessary need to repeat the command).

Thanks 9G-Man! Really appreciate the info

Is there a voice command for speed dialing? What's the point in setting up the speed dial list if there is no voice command, then?

You can use the speed dial list while moving. It's the only voiceless (i.e., quick) way to call out on the move, short of getting out your phone and dialing it.

I take it this must be a 2006 or newer item? I tried it on my 2004 and it either does some erroneous command, or takes me to the list of available commands and none are in relation to dialing...

Thanks,
