Does my vehicle have voice control?
If there is a Talk button
on the multi-function steering wheel or the VOICE button is available in the Infotainment system
or your vehicle understands the activation word, voice control is installed in the vehicle.

Differences in the voice controls
Command-based voice control (standard)
Only grammatically correct voice commands are recognized by the voice control. Voice commands must follow a fixed syntax
in order to be recognized correctly, e.g. “Navigate to [city, street name, house number]”. You can find further examples in the
Infotainment system. The command-based voice control can be carried out in any available language.
Enhanced voice control (offline or online)
Speech commands can be freely worded in common speech. For example, in response to the question “How long is left to
drive?”, the system gives the remaining time until arrival at the destination. Suggestions for voice commands depend on the
set language and can be found in the Infotainment system.
Enhanced voice control works both online and offline. By evaluating voice commands, online mode offers improved POIs,
media and online radio station search functionality. Additionally, messages can be dictated. For online mode, you need a VW
Car-Net contract valid for the vehicle.
If enhanced voice control is available in your language, it is used to activate voice control.
Supported languages
The number of languages available in your country depends on the vehicle equipment.
Start voice control by saying the activation word available in your country ⇒ Activation word.
Starting and ending voice control

Avoid external and background noise.
Do not direct the air flow from the vents towards the microphone or headliner.
