You guys are not missing much on the voice command, I have the english version and it seems that the voice recognition works ok on the nav but the ipod part and the phone part of it sucks.. I have tried to change the position of the mic to 4 places and even tried a new mic but always the same results, It hears what it wants to, not me! LOL! I just turn mine off and use it manually plus the ipod does not need to go through catalogue when its off.
