Pro Nav Voice Assist

Post by dobbor1 » Sun Feb 22, 2015 3:52 pm

Guys,

Does the voice assist come as standard with the Pro Nav Systems?
It's in a 2011 Model.
Nothing mentioned in the BMW Spec Sheet.
When I press the button on the steering wheel I only get options for the phone.

Thanks

Jeff

I think it's an option. Had it on my F10 and it wasn't bad. On my E70 it's useless.

Cost option which you can activate.  Steering wheels all come like that.  I gave it on mine and have only used it two or three times as I can never remember all the keywords.....

On the F10, it would respond reasonably well to voice inputs for Nav, place names etc, but on the E70, it will only respond to words as listed in the handbook, so if you don't use the correct words, it won't do anything.

Later tech in the F10 much better. I wouldn't bother getting it switched on.
