Can't get the Voice Recognition (Siri Eyes Free) to work with a Pioneer AVH-4000NEX. Any ideas?

Hey Lee, I would suggest that you try to update the headunit first, thats the way for it to work because of the compatibility of the phone

Try holding down the main button until it beeps. That's how I activate Siri on the iphone.

Big time thanks!!!!! TTS worked. I changed voice to Brittish English and didn't chose the TTS. It was my mistake. I will have to contack Garmin about the error message. Thanks again!!!!!!

I've been told by most that the microphone works well, although one person complained that it didn't. On the other hand, I've used Siri with the Sennheiser CX 890i headset, and Siri has always responded as expected to the commands I've given and requests I've made. So Siri has no problems with the headset's microphone!

I don't know why people responded that there is voice recognition with the Nuvi 2557. I purchased because they said it did but it definitely NOES NOT HAVE VOICE RECOGNITION. I checked on the garmin site just to make sure and it confirms under "features and benefits" that there is no voice activated navigation. Now I need to decide if I'll keep this version. Wish amazon checked these answers as there were 6 answers saying yes, I thought it was accurate.

II have a HR44 genie receiver. It would not allow me to to change some of the options that I needed to get my receiver to work

I had the same problem. There was absolutely nothing in the manual about how to enable text to speech. If you did not know the acronym ("TTS") and what that meant alongside the voices, you would never have guessed it. I love my unit, but was seriously disappointed with the poor documentation of the product. It is like so much tech doc these days: written BY the people who thoroughly understand the product's ins and outs and FOR the same sorts of readers (i.e., fellow knowers of the ins and outs)!

By default voice activation is off. There is a reason for that. Even when it works ok, you don't always want a voice to trigger it.

Good question. I'm unsure, try calling pioneer to better answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help.

So the XAV602BT was the replacement unit for the XAV601BT. Both units are similar, although the XAV602BT will come with more up to date software and is compatible with new add on products (i.e. IPod, IPhone, Android Phones, etc.). Also, the XAV602BT is compatible with both Siri and Google Talk voice controls. The XAV602BT also has the option of adding on stand allow navigation to the head unit. Where as the XAV601BT can only do navigation through IPhone with a dedicated app. I do hope this information helps.

I had the same problem and called tech support. Go to Pioneers website and look for the videos on the soundbar. The correct procedure to teach the sound bar to learn your remote is there. The instructions are leaving some procedures out. You have to learn it twice in a row.

I have not had a problem with the Pioneer AVH-P3400BH I purchased. So far it's been a great working device.

Sorry, I never tried setting my Nuvi for voice recognition. Whenever I had a problem I call the 1800 number for garmin and they were very helpful. H. Ramadan

Yes. In Android you can use voice commands. However, I'm not sure about Siri as I haven't paired an iPhone. Great unit though, all steering wheel buttons work as well as 6 CD changer.

Microphone and volume control, call answer, track skip for Apple products. Not sure of remote function for non-Apple devices...

Just tried it in my 2008 Q7 and the MMI interface is stuck on "initializing device" and even after pairing, does not transmit sound. Though the Mpow device does work on an IPOD dock stereo. Must be an Audi thing.

I don't see any "voice recognition" prompt anywhere, but, that doesn't mean one doesn't exist. I haven't clicked on everything?...www.chessbase.com should give you all the answers you're looking for. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...
