Does anyone know why there is no voice command the European model of F900BT? Is there a difference in the hardware?

I'm from Sweden.

I guess because in the US they only speak English (except Miami ).

Here in Europe we have like a zillion languages to support....

So it has nothing to do with the firmware.

It all seems a bit strange. It was one of the reasons that I got this unit.

Join the club. We should sue Pioneer about it, because these devices are advertised as being equipped with voice recognition, nevertheless the units are cheaper in the USA.

I would understand that there's many languages in Europe, but i'm not against speeking english , is there any UK avic user's having the same problem ?

I mean if we choose the english as default languague for the system would it work ?

And after all, Pioneer is not a brand from "planet mars"... it is international, just look at the iphone 3Gs voice recognition, for exemple, it works in french...

anyone have an official solution

Hi

I just bought the Avic F900BT ( uk model ) after researching many others brands and the thing that sold me on it is the voice recognition , but alas after installing i found out it dosent have it, im well cheesed off, English is English be it UK or states or Australia , so i dont see why it dosent have it , im still impressed by the unit, but it would have been the icing on the cake to have that feature, if anyone has found a fix for the UK model to have voice recognition would really appreciate is they can post it.

strange thing is when you go to the settings there is the option to add tts , just cant find the files for europe to add it

It doesn't have it because thats not a feature Pioneer decided to support outside of the US. And are these units advertised as supporting VR in other countries other then the US? You guys need to call Pioneer about this. They are the ones that made the decision.
