How do you use voice commands?

I installed my F900BT last night and apart from the slow boot time and the stupid blue box on the nav screen, I'm pretty happy with it.

 

I looked in the PDF manual, but can't seem to find anything on the voice commands. I chose a TTS voice - as they now tell me the names of the streets. I can't figure out how to use the voice commands or voice dialing etc? Is there something I need to set up, and is there something I need to press to speak?

Also - does anyone have a list of commands?

You press the volume knob... like it is a button.

The voice commands are in the manual.

If you don't have the manual you can download one here:

Thanks for the reply...

Perhaps I'm stupid, but I've read through my manual several times (which is a PDF from Pioneer.co.uk) - and I still can't find anything about voice commands. It does say that the TTS will read a message to me though - which I can't get to work either.

 

When I read about the multifunctional knob - it says (with a bluetooth phone connected) pressing it will either answer an incoming call or end a current call.

No mention of voice commands at all?

Perhaps the UK model is different to the US one? I'm currently downloading the manual you've linked to so I can see if its different.

Oh, it's a European model... those do not have the voice command feature. They do have the TTS feature that will say aloud the names of streets. But no voice command for EUR models.

Hmmm... that sucks.

I wonder why they neglected the Euro model with the voice commands? Or whether they'll add it in a future update.

 

Looks like I'll have to re-do my phonebook then with each number as a contact, rather than some contacts having 2 or 3 numbers.

I agree... :roll:
