A conversation with the van.

[Meoncoast]

The touchscreen has started playing a fault reported by other members going into our trusted dealer Breeze for a fix. The Q & the P button is not working and the return button also is iffy.

So today tried the voice setting.
Van – say destination town.
Me – Southampton
Van - Okehampton
Me – Southampton
Van- There is too much background noise
Me – It's a F-ng camper-van and you built it!
Van- Too loud speak quieter!
Me -

The voice function on the VW is a joke. Best to use either Android Auto and Google Voice or Apple CarPlay and Siri. Don't even know why they even bother to make things that is not their area of expertise. Leave it to the experts to do things better. VW should stick to building vehicles.

Fingers crossed that their ID software is of a better quality.

Sounds like me talking to Siri

I end up getting so p*ssed off I tell Siri to talk to the van.

Voice control systems do seem a little strange, I have quite a broad "Ow at me duck" Stoke accent and have had no problem with VW, Mercedes or Maserati voice recognition software. On the other hand I have a friend who to my mind speaks crystal clear queens English and even Alexa won't give her the time of day. You might just be a little too posh!

Reminds me of Ozzie Osborne swearing at his BMW 7 Series when it couldn’t understand him

Do you honestly believe VW built the In Car Entertainment Systems?
