List of Voice Commands
Hi All,
Is there a consolidated list of the current voice commands for the i-Drive? I found a google link to an old thread in this forum, but I could download the .pdf file. It may have been deleted...? Cheers, Echo |

I don't know what to say to it...I'm surprised BMW haven't published a list of commands. I find it quicker to just navigate to whatever I want using the iDrive controller, rather than thinking about what word, said in the right way, will get me what I need.
Having said that, I do use it to dial contacts from my phonebook, although the process of saying "phonebook" and then waiting for recognition before announcing the name seems a step backward from my e46. But whatever, it's the one voice command I actually know how to use. |

I just asked it for examples of commands and depending what part of iDrive you're in (media/radio/nav, etc) it gave me examples of things to say.
The navigation ones are a bit of a pain at first but once you've done it a few times it's easy. |
