Yet another topic about Voice Control

kenz0r · 11-22-2009, 05:47 AM

Hi guys,

Last friday i bought a E90 320d. I'll have the car by next week or so.
Now i was wondering if i have Voice Control, since i have NaviPro and two buttons for VC (one on the steering wheel and another next to the iDrive-controller).

The seller told me it did, but when i pushed on the VC-button on the steering wheel i didn't hear a *blip*. Note: the engine wasn't running.

Can you guys tell me if i have it or not?

Thanks

EDIT: Oh i also have Bluetooth installed, don't know if this makes any difference?

In order for you to hear the beep, the car has to be in accessory mode or engine on.

I'm sure you have VC.

Congrats on your purchase. !

Thanks for the useful reply!

I have the car since wednesday and yes it does have VC.

I'll take some pictures next week and i'll show them here.

Hmm. My build has only one VC button, the one on the steering wheel. It should have the 2nd one, though!

Every LCI Idrive in North American has just one VC button - on the steering wheel.

I don't know exactly what system the OP has, but it is not the same as your Idrive.

Wish LCIs had 2, though!

Is this a MY2006 320d? AFAIK the 2-button VC was only offered in pre-programmable buttons iDrive.
