Here's what I did to fix mine. It could be the same issue. viewtopic.php?f=33&t=29411

Fixed my Voice Command problems and this may be useful for others having problems after the 3.0 upgrade. It appears a couple of files are corrupt or not compatible. I noticed the only difference between the original firmware and the 3.0 firmware was two files IA.exe and IA_withlog.exe in the VBT directory. The 3.0 version is 1.0.30.4 dated 6/26/09 The 2.0 version is 1.0.28.0 dated 10/24/08. I replaced the 3.0 version with the 2.0 version and voice command is back to normal! Copy the attached files to the flashdisk\APL2\VBT I made a backup of the 3.0 files just in case it

For the life of me I can't get voice command to work after updating to 3.0 on my F90BT. I know the mic is working fine because I can dial out with my phone and nobody complains about the conversation. However, when I try to use VC to call someone it will never find the name. In addition I have reset my IPod, updated the VR and it just won't find a song, artist, etc... I have tried the tricks of pushing the VC button and waiting for an extra second, Doesn't work. Anyone else having these issues? Anyone have a fix?

Save your money. New version hasn't done anything for me except slower boot times and VR is worse than ever. It's a pile. I have had this thing for almost a year and ready to ditch it for something that works. Kenwood is looking better all the time!

I too would like to use the digital out on the F90BT however when I tried I found the digital out only works on DVD content. CD's or other sources did not enable the digital output. Overall it's a really poor design. Even my 5 year old Eclipse has a digital out that works! I could go on and on why I'm not happy with this unit, but that really doesn't provide any value to the board who has help turn a turd into something halfway worth using.

Looks good, I did the same with my E46 M3. Big pain, but worth it! Nice job.
