Could never get it to work in either of my Sports and the version in the FFRR doesn't like my accent either, it's a waste of time 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

my one works fine, can be temperamental, but may be its because i loaded the east London voice files..if i say... "dial ma bro's yard boss" and it will call ones brother at his country manor. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

You need to speak the Queens English. Then it gets about 90% of what you say.

That will be me F ed then

It is appalling - I only use mine for two commands (phone dial number, screen off) and I seem to be getting the hang of these now (after 6 months) - dial number still needs 3 goes. I find the main issue being caused by road/background noise as it works well when stationary - so, about as useful as the ubiquitous chocolate tea-pot then.

Glad it's not just me - I thought it was my accent.

And it certainly doesn't recognise the command "Oh off you useless ing piece of " which is strange as it seems this is the most frequent command given by its users

Has anyone sat through the audio tutorial? It's quite amusing  Land Rover Addict

I think it is best to set the voice commands when in motion, or at least with the engine running, as it will take into account other noise.

Mmmmhh. Mine would have serious difficulties w/any sort of English (even the very clear American English I speak ). Mine speaks German.

No troubles with it at all, tho (even though I have an I-Bus FFRR). But then, I speak German w/o a dialect.
