My apologies if this is discussed elsewhere, but I can't find mention of it... my friend who has an 2005 LR3 and my new RRS 2007 have problems understanding us! We're both English, but live in the US. Is there some secret to speaking, or adjustment of settings or teaching the system our voices, so that we don't constantly get "displaying Italian Restaurants" or some other nonsense? (otherwise my RRS is by far the best car I've ever owned - and that's after only 3 days!) Many Thanks, -Andrew

Replying to: abennett3 (Jun 17, 2007 4:52 pm) Go hit the settings menu on the main screen. Now you will see several buttons on the screen. One will say voice language and another will say systems language. Click one of them and select british. Go back to the previous screen and click the other. Now also select the british language option. |

Replying to: abennett3 (Jun 18, 2007 6:06 pm)  with the voice recognition feature on my 2007 LR3 HSE at the beginning. My problem was different because I am French Canadian and therefore have a little accent when speaking english. After having tried the US English, Parisien French I went back to UK English. From time to time the voice recognition will experience difficulty with the way I pronounce certain sounds. But overall it is rare and only occurs when trying to record phone numbers with lots of "fours" in it  I had to fake a British accent to get it to accept the way I was pronouncing "four"

Replying to: abennett3 (Jun 18, 2007 6:06 pm) A relaxed, conversational tone works best. And I'm not privileged to have a more "refined" accent as you do. Make that Pennsylvania Dutch, flattened by a couple of years in the Iowa, and spiced with quite a bit of the Southwest. If LR can handle that, your RP should be no problem.
