When I press the Voice Recognition Mode button on steering wheel, more often than not, it says "Voice Recognition mode is finished." On screen, it shows the voice recognition box with only Cancel (not Help) highlighted.
Sometimes doing it over again helps. Sometimes not.
Does anyone else have this problem?
What causes it?
What can you do to correct it?
Thanks.

My wife mentioned it yesterday but I thought she was mistaken until I just read your post. I'll have to see what is going on.

Here's the problem...you want to BRIEFLY press the voice button. If you HOLD the voice button, it will CANCEL voice recognition and you'll get the "Voice Recognition mode is finished" message.

Let me know if that helps.

also make sure you wait for the beep after you press the button before you start to speak. otherwise it will not register your command and eventually time out.

It sounds plausible. Will try pressing briefly and report. thanks.

if you hold the button down like a walkie-talkie it will say:" Voice recognition mode is finished." You want to push the button and release and then wait for the beep. You will also see the microphone icon superimposed on the compass at the top left of the screen. Say your command and nothing else as it is easily confused by extraneous noise. It will confirm your command. If it is wrong, try again. Practice pays off!

Thanks everyone.
Pressing the button briefly not holding it down solved the problem.
