Voice Recognition Module

[sam817]

Couple Questions

1) What is a Voice Recognition Module. I have a 05 4.4 with Premium package, Nav, DSP - Does it have the Voice Recognition Module

2) If not then how can I get it and how much is it???

1. VR is a dealer installed (or self-install) option. Doubtful if you have it, but to find out simply hold down the button on the steering wheel with the icon of a speaking face. If you hear a "beep" try saying "help". Here's the install guide and a listing of the commands - http://www.xoutpost.com/articles.php?...ticle&artid=10

2. Check with Vaheh at Crevier BMW

Sam, I have the same car and same issue, the dealers don't seem to know or have any documentations for the if there is a VR for the 05. Anybody?

It's there, but only for phone commands. I have an '05 also and I'm able to use all phone commands, but the system does not recognize nav commands. Apparently the navigation commands package has to be activated at the dealership.

i have the same problem x5 2005 3.0 with nav prem pkg

ive been looking for answers for about amonth now since i bought the car

some will tell you its there and the dealer have to avtivated, and some will tell you you have to buy the VR module in order to get the rest of Commands for navigation and notes etc..

the only commands is working for me now is the phone commands.

and i realy dont understand why the NAV commands not working if you have navigation option

so still waiting to the final answer

Tahoe, same car, so how do you activate it if it's stock? The phone is all I really want, that via bluetooth which works fine with Sony phone. Holding the phone button down on steering wheel doesn't seem to generate the beep as described in manuals. Basically I've been to three dealers and got the same run around as HBERBOUT123. Many thanks.

WHAT TYPE OF PHONE U HAVE?

Sony Ericsson T610, looking to move to Razr, is there something with the Voice commands on the phone I need to do. Thanks.

[HBERBOUT123]

all you need to pair the phone and thats it . the phone book automaticaly transfer to the X5 and you can use the voice commands to dial number

[Acezoned]

all of that is done and working fine, I access the phone book from the OBC and take calls with full name text from phone book with no issues, but I can't get VR from car going, if it's there (?) or if I need to get voice commands going on phone.
