Voice recognition 06 "AM" does not work!

kinged · 01-08-2006, 08:25 AM

I have been using voice recognition on the 2006 navigation system. Commands such as FM1, FM2, CD all work. However, when I say "AM", the sytem responds with "AM radio", but it does not switch over to AM radio, it did nothing. Anyone having the same problem? Can someone with 06 check this for me?

Works for me on my 06. I tried it w/the audio system off and on while in FM and CD player mode.

I never tried AM radio before yesterday... but I did a test after your post. I could not get it to recognize "AM" at all. It wanted to show me ATM icons on the screen. However... the command "AM Radio" worked perfectly... and played my AM radio OK.

Do you have AM stations programmed into your favorites? I am not sure that would make a difference... but its an idea to check.

Mine is an '06 pkg#8

If you are experiencing unreliable operation of your 2006 voice recognition system, please see this thread here in PriusChat:

Bob,

In this case... according to the OP, the voice recognition itself seems to be working because the MFD displays "AM Radio". However, it seems that the programming does not change to AM.

Maybe your not saying please... or using a sexy enough voice..

Sorry.... that may not help much.... maybe your prius doesn't like AM?......
If the luv-bug "herbie" has personality.. the prius must be much much more?

You better say your sorry... I bet you made your prius mad and hurt its feelings?....

Go say your sorry and I bet it will work.......

Same here. 06 Pkg 7. I get both voice and visual confirmation of the given voice command (either "AM" or "AM radio"), but the system does not actually switch to AM, nor does it turn on AM if the audio is off.

hmm. interesting to know. wonder what i can get out of DH about this... the shop has only seen one 06 so far.

I had something like that happen today w/ me '06. I set a nav destination, then told it to Suspend Navigation. It said it back to me, displayed the text on the screen..then proceeded to continue to give me driving directions. I tried the Suspend again and it worked the second time.
