Golf 7 Voice control - solution

[DoggieHowser]

The new Golf Which Model : Volkswagen UK

You can see that voice control is an option for 50 quid that is NOT available with the Discover Pro. I suspect that means it's standard with Discover Pro.

So you should be able to get it without changing the head unit.

DouggieHowser: I suspect that you are correct in your assertion. Just received an email from VW Aust. Contrary to their previous advice that there needed to be a hardware change for the Voice Control fix, they are now saying that only a software patch is needed (I have absolutely no idea why they have changed their view). Anyway apparently the fix has arrived at the dealership. I've booked the vehicle in for Thursday. Let's see what eventuates!

50 quid for the option of voice control? Hmm... cheaper to just shout at the passenger and tell him/her to turn off/on the audio I reckon!

I think the 50 quid might have included adding the voice control button on the steering wheel.

Which you already paid for.
