Have you used the Sat Nav before? If not, the choice of Country may be set to Germany.
Try setting a destination manually and ensure the Country is set to UK.

My Volvo did this after we had been to France.

My 24 plate Ocean keeps finding places in Germany too, I put it down to the voice control being poor compared to my 10 year old Volvo, tried looking for a way to force it to UK no luck, if anyone has any pointers that would be good.

I have been in touch with the Volkswagen garage and they say that Volkswagen will send an update but don’t know when

You are NOT alone that’s exactly what I get. I have tried setting the country code as has been suggested but it makes NO difference

So how did you get your voice activated sat nav to work?

Mine is a T6 , different system to 6.1

Using car play , Press the voice button either on the MFSW or head unit & it works as it should.

Try contacting Sat Nav systems Surbiton. Very very Knowledgeable (mention the forum )

I can get my sat nav voice control working fine using Apple CarPlay but the issue is with the inbuilt VW sat nav by voice control.
I’ll contact them thanks.

I’ve cracked it.

The way I did it was as follows;
1. Press voice button on steering wheel and just say “navigation”
2. After prompt from system I then said “navigate to Wigston Central Avenue 58” (that’s purely for demonstration purposes it’s my mums address )
BINGO!!!

If I followed the first step and then followed that by just saying “London” without saying “navigate to…….” That’s when the results all come back as cities beginning with L in Germany.

Good luck I hope this helps it worked for me.

Well done and thanks for working that out
Is it crucial to ask for the address that way, ie start wide and narrow down to street and number?
