Voice Recognition help and questions
Well starting late 2008 and now on the 2009 models, the voice command recognition on the G have been neutered!
What use is saying cliate control to turn it on and off if you have to then manually adjust the temperature!
Same for the radio!
And to voice dial someone in your phone book requires:
say phonebook then wait for the voice wench to say then say name or number form your phonebook....then say the name........ then wait for her to then say say dial..... then say dial.....Used ot be able to just say call (voice tag here).
so Does anybody know if maybe there is a way to hack the system or enter some hiddne menu to reenable these?
Otherwise the voice rec sstem is effectively useless as it is faster/easier to use the touchscreen and steering controls for everyhting.

Having a fully finctioning voice command I must say it is the best Voice command system in all regards. You can actually say "driver temp" or "passenger temp" and it will adjust only that one you ask. Infiniti really needs to get this back for everyone if possible.

Alternate command is still very neutered.
I really dont understand why infiniti did this unless people were complaining nav was making too many errors causing distractions. I still think they should allow an option to enable it

The infiniti nav is rated the best on the market because it doesn't make mistakes.
Functionality must be sacrificed for convenience...
Did I mention that my voice is one of the "samples" used to test voice recognition? I had to sit and read a bajillion commands that were being recorded as well as numbers, spelling things out, etc.

What would be cooler was if you were the voice of the nav. You'd probably be better than that overly chatty woman that they have. She doesn't need to tell me the same long highway name twice in 15seconds. This is one of the things I appreciate about the BMW nav. Initially I was a little thrown by it, but now I appreciate that it is more consise.

I wonder who to contact at infiniti to let my feelings be known. Maye with enough pressure they can firmware update things back to last years setup

I agree people who complain about Infiniti navi system.
But compare to over priced Mercedes-Benz navi, hell good!!!
its hard to have all nice features together.
For example, sorry for Lexus and Acura lovers, but Lexus and Acura has really nice Navi system(they do have hella best navi system); I traded my 07 TL-s for G37. Now I can say what!!! the only thing I lilked about Acrua was Navi since I have G37. nothing else comparable!!!
don't complain there are worse navi system than we have
I don't want to say its MB !!!!

I have to disagree with you on this one. The voice recognition system works quite well for destination inputs while driving, negating the need for ever hacking the system, and all the troubles that often result. Furthermore, there are hundreds of additional commands that make the system quite useful overall.

The old (i.e. early 2008) nav had hundred's of commands. The new one has a few dozen max and in most cases limited.
You can no longer adjust temeprature or switch to different presets or directly voice dial a phonebook number......

Can you use it to input an address while you are driving. If so, how well does it work for that? That was one of the big annoyances I had with the nav in my G35, which was a nice change in my 335.
