Jeff,

Any luck with that VIN info I provided you with? Been trying to get in touch with AdvancedAutovations to see about that wiring harness but they're not to quick on the email.

On another note...Are you able to speak the names from your phone's (V600) phonebook and have the VR system dial them? All of the names from my phone book come up on my display but when I say Dial "Andy" for exapmle it doesn't recognize it. Do I have to go in and store all the names and numbers seperately?

Sorry about the VIN, I completely forgot about that. I'll see what I can find out.

On the voice dial, note that the voice dialing from the phone is separate from the voice dialing from the vehicle. If you want to voice dial from the vehicle then you need to store those first. The voice commands supported by the VR module are:

Dial number
Dial name
Add name
Delete name
Play phonebook
Clear phonebook
Redial

So if you want to voice dial then you first must use the "Add Name" command to store the name/number and then you can dial it using the "Dial Name" command.

No worries. Thanks.

Regarding the Voice Command thats too bad. I was hoping there was a way that the phonebook would auto sync somehow so I wouldn't have to input all my numbers all over again...

I agree, that's a bummer that they can't share something like that. I'll let you know what I find out on the VIN.

Jeff

Anthony,

I just sent you an email with the details on your X5. It came with phone prep, so there is no reason that I can think of why the dealer shouldn't have been able to install the cradle in the console.

Jeff,

Thanks for the email. As I bought the vehicle second, hand there is some stuff in there I didn't know I had!

But back to my problem...Since I have phone prep do Istill need this wiring harness extension? Or should I be able to buy the part and just snap it in?
