Voice commands

Voice commands

Hello, everyone!

After owning the Audi A8 2007 for almost 4 years, I’ve just realized I haven’t explored enough the voice commands. And only recently I found it useful for phone.
Does anyone have a full list of available commands?
Can it accept navigation commands to enter the destination address? (country, street and etc.)
Does anyone using the voice commands and found it useful?
Thanks a lot!

Press the voice button and say "help". That's how I learned them.
She goes on forever with commands, and at the end tells you how to get help on specific systems.

Use them daily. I travel for work a LOT and it's been a sheer joy to not have to fiddle with the radio or phone. Impresses customers too

Dialing the phone by number works perfectly for me. I memorize numbers in case phone dies, and can rattle off the number quicker than fiddling with the steering wheel control to look it up.

Use it quite a bit with navigation for zoom level, etc.

I found it to work cool to change the CD track and that's all. Or to call someone who's name you've programmed. For entering a number I find it WAY faster to just touch my phone and hit dial on a contact. I just don't like how you have to enter the numbers in groups, its frustrating if your in a hurry or if it doesn't ready you right and have to restart it all.

Reread the manual on the voice command section. Took me a while before figuring out how to name contacts or addresses. You'll figure it out.

push the voice button, You say 'telephone', wait, she will say "telephone" you say "Call Bob", if you have two numbers stored for Bob She will say "If you would like the land line say land line otherwise say mobile".
