Linguatronic help please

[corned]

Hi. Just acquired a cradle for my phone to plug into the pre-wired arm rest. Great!

The main reason I have been keen to add this is that the car is equipped with Linguatronic and I liked the idea of having the ability to control the phone without having to press buttons!

All started well - the phone paired with the cradle, the phone's phonebook appeared on the COMAND screen and I could select a name and connect a call. Great - again!

What I can't seem to get to is the ability to simply pull the Linguatronic stalk and say "dial 'home'" or similar. The damn woman keeps saying "Pardon?". The cradle instruction booklet refers to importing the phone's phonebook entries into COMAND, but I can't find any way to do this. The COMAND hand-almanac doesn't seem to go into this detail. When I go to TEL in COMAND, it says that the phonebook is empty, yet I am looking at a list of entries on the screen!!

Can anyone help me out a bit - please?

You need to create voice tags for the entries first.

BTW the Linguatronic command you need to use is "Call home" not Dial. When you say Dial Linguatronic will expect a number.

Get a Linguatronic handbook from the dealers, if you don't have one (mine cost ~£8)

Thanks, guys.

I understand that the voice tags are done via the addressbook rather than the phonebook, but there are a lot if entries to go through in my case!! I'll do the most frequent/important ones first obviously.

I had seen the recent thread (by Alfie?) regarding Linguatronic manuals, so I was already thinking of getting one anyway. "If all else fails..."

The COMAND woman is great - much better than the woman in the phone itself (Motorola) who simply just does not understand English!

On an unrelated note, an old mate of mine bought a SatNav device a few years ago and his decision was based principally on having a choice of voices for the voice commands. He demanded that a male voice be available as he couldn't stand the thought of a woman telling him what to do.
