Never knew there was two versions.
I can set destinations, control the CD and such, so that's the full version?

Yep, as Manny said That's exactly what it was, it can be confusing when you don't know about different versions.

And, just remembered now, Manny was the second guy along Del who spent hours with me on the forum one evening sorting this out, once again I Thank You for that

M-A8, how does the VC get on with your accent?

Mine struggles and keeps saying "Pardon" all the time.
So I give up. lol

Surprisingly is doing OK, I do get a Pardon from time to time. But most of the time I do have to speak 'properly;
I've got a deep, or some say very deep voice and that doesn't help hence I have to switch my speech mode to 'well spoken english'

PS. I get pardon especially when I press button accidentally while shouting: faster faster faster, oh yeah baby, you blat, in your face, I will love you forever my beautiful German girl, take that Merc wa**er, hahahahahahah.

I started reading that and had visions of heel marks in the roof lining.

I found a better, more accurate version of the VC in the car.
Its called the wife.
never got it wrong yet but its harder to cancel and mute than the Audi version.

My Mrs isn't allow to drive it, touch any controls and especially talk to my girl
