I'm struggling with using voice commands for the satnav, in particular when using the command "Destination Home". It just doesn't recognise "home" when I say it. It asks if I mean "Holme" or "Hulme" or other similar names. My wife can manage it get it to work sometimes but not always. I don't think I've got a particularly strong accent. I'm Scottish but I've lost 95% of my accent. The only way I can get round it is to say "destination" then wait until it gives a few choices, of which "home" is one of them, and it recognises it then. Anyone else have problems with this?

Simply say "take me home".

The voice recognition is rubbish. You would be better off plugging your phone in and using Android Auto, the voice recognition is far superior.

Yep, same for me…. I always get offered Hulme . The voice recognition is not great - I tend to plug my phone in and use Apple car play if I need directions anywhere.

I'd rather not use our phones. I'll give "take me home" a try.

Is you phone not being used with Sync 3 anyway?

Well Sync 3 covers several functions. Phone calls is only one of them. Don't think satnav is phone dependant.

Big thanks Lightfoot. Just tried "take me home" and it worked first time

You are right, but, I meant your phone is already in use so using Android Auto wouldn't make much difference. Your choice, obviously, glad you found a workaround to the onboard problem.
