If you put it in a separate thread someone may deem it worthy of being made a "sticky". +++

It will be a separate thread, it will Inc. Everything what I mentioned before and troubleshooting for mic and vc. ;)

Hi

Once again a BIG thank you to everyone (PsYcHe, Mannyo), and especially to Del, for all the support over last couple of days +++
:cheers:

Could any one WITHOUT factory fitted Voice/Speech Control confirm coding in module 77-Telephone (it will be in the main window under Coding <in VCDS>) PLEASE

I'd like to understand why coding for No Voice Control (0010900) actually activates this function and Telephone's microphone.

If it's a glitch in VCDS then I will email Ross-Tech and ask for some explanation/understanding.

Cheers

I can understand why, here is why (I think)

If you have voice control, then the microphone is connected to the Voice control module since it is possible to have voice control and no bluetooth.

You code the phone module without voice control because the voice control module is in effect controlling the infotainment (including the phone as it is part of the infotainment).

If you code the phone module for voice control, then the phone module will expect the microphone to be connected directly to itself, and it in turn would then handle the voice control. As a side effect, since voice control is now listening through the bluetooth module without a microphone, the whole thing stops working.

This actually make sense Manny +++
I've seen you can have 1, 2 or 3 mics installed in same place, next to each other I assume, but it all depends obviously from the options you have the car.

So coding for Voice Control you would use only if you have no bluetooth (0010920) ?
It makes sense.

I was under impression that bluetooth was standard, but then if you have the actual phone installed with a sister sim installed then bluetooth is pointless, but still wouldn't harm to have it as standard

Cheers Manny +++

Thanks for your persistence, now fixed mine
 

Hi M_A8,

My thanks to you for persisting until you fixed this. I have had the same problem for 12 months probably since I did my 5570 MMI update. I followed your story with interest and applied the same codes to 07 and 77 which also worked. Not logical compared with the VCDS guidance but, it works, so again, thanks.
