Extending telephone voice command
Many of my contacts have 5 or more phone numbers. The telephone voice command "Call XYZ" works fine but brings up on the MMI display a screen showing multiple numbered lines, each containing an icon and a phone number for contact XYZ. I am then asked to say the line number containing the phonenumber I want to call. I have to look at the icons on the left to see which one is the office, home or mobile number I want to dial. This somewhat negates the voice activation function, as I do have to take my eyes off the road and look at the screen, searching for the correct line number. Not to mention that often the voice command times out before I figure out which one is the correct line number, so now I have to start the process from the beginning.
In my previous car the aftermarket Bluetooth device would accept the extended voice command "Call XYZ home" or "Call XYZ mobile" and would automatically dial the appropriate number. Is there a way to do this with the A7 MMI? I could not find a reference to it in MMI help or in the manual.

yes - so does the voice command. just say "call john smith on mobile" and it will call the mobile.. but your contacts have to organized ..the numbers have to placed under one contact w/ diff descriptors ie mobile home office etc.
A lot of this stuff is phone dependant as well. It works perfectly under ANDROID ! get an android
