Is my vehicle equipped with the voice assistant?

If your vehicle is equipped with the voice assistant, you will find the corresponding app in the Infotainment system: IDA (→ First

steps in the Infotainment system).

Test the voice assistant before starting a journey in order to familiarise yourself with the function.

Features of the voice assistant

Depending on the set language and country, the voice assistant is available offline or online in the Infotainment system.

Depending on the set language in the Infotainment system, voice commands can be formulated freely and may use colloquial

language. Depending on the system language, the statement “I’m cold” will lead to the temperature in the vehicle being increased, for

example. Depending on the system language, voice commands that are evaluated online permit optimised searches for points of

interest or requests relating to various categories, e.g. the weather.

In some system languages, the voice commands must be formulated according to a certain pattern in order to guarantee recognition,

e.g. “Navigate to [Town, Street name, House number]”.

The number of languages available in your country depends on the country in question.

You can see whether the voice assistant is online on the welcome page of the IDA app. For this, tap IDA

.

Activation word

The spoken words are analysed continuously in the vehicle and overwritten after around 15 seconds. The voice assistant is started as

soon as the Infotainment system recognises the activation word as part of this analysis. If the voice assistant is available online and

activated, (voice) data is also transferred from the vehicle as from this time. Otherwise there is no transmission of data or words

spoken in the vehicle.

Recognition of the activation word can be deactivated in the settings.

The voice assistant recognises “Hello Volkswagen” and also “Hello IDA” as activation words if they are activated in the settings. You can

create your own activation word in the IDA app → Activation word and voice commands.

“Hello Volkswagen” is used as an example for the activation word in the following.
