Hi All,

Anybody any complains about the voice control?
On my XJL it isn't working at any good.
And what to do about it?

Regards from the Netherlands.

 

EU, if you use the voice control, watch the instrument cluster. It will tell you what commands that it will accept. You then need to pronounce them a certain way or it will not understand what you are trying to say. Once you get to say the dialing a number portion, then you can say what is in the contacts list of your phone. But, again, it needs to be said very specifically. I know I battle with my car all the time. I also find that if you keep your voice a bit quieter and calm, it will help it pick up what you are saying.

 

I haven't had any problems with the voice control in the car.

Trying to get people to do what I ask is a different matter unfortunately.

 

... I am waiting for voice controlled golf *****. "Go in! Go in! GO IN!!!"

 

Are you aware of the "Voice Training" option?
This is a small set of steps where you speak certain words and the system listens and adapts to your accent.


Seemed to help mine be a bit more useful.

Ha ha this is a totally useless option. I could not even stand to finish playing around with it.

 

I think that's why it didn't work?

Mine never worked either. I chalked it up to my southern accent.

If you take your time to follow the voice guidance tutorial it’ll adapt to whatever accent you may have and become more intuitive over time as you continue to use it.

 

Yeah, that's absolutely what it's supposed to do. I wasted the better part of a weekend giving it that opportunity and it DID NOT WORK.

On my 2017 XJL, there is no voice command for Navigation.........total fail imho.

 

Clubairth1,

Yeah sure I 'v tried that, not even close.
Can there be a difference in a USA version and European version??

Hailers are you sure?
I thought voice command was standard on all XJ's?


Not sure about differences between the different markets but voice control is used around the world.

I've Voic Command for things like Sirius etc but none for NAVIGATION.

IF I'm wrong, someone correct me that has a 2017 XJL. From what I've read, earler versions of the XJ did have voice command for Navigation.

I'd be only too happy to be wrong about this.

 

 

I went to the AutoBahn, Jaguar dealer today and was assured that 2017 XJL do NOT have voice command for Navigation.

As long as I can drive and input destinations with my fingers, I'm satisfied, but if they ever make it so you can't input a destination on Nav unless your stopped.....customer won't be happy a'tall.

Out of curiosity, I drove a diesel XF four cylinder. I'm a bit surprised how well it does in the city and driving at a steady 80 mph. It's about the equivient of a Mercedes E-250 four cylinder diesel, but both a bit short of a BMW 540D or BMW 535D on performance. Just FYI
