Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Touchscreen Freezes After Using Siri On IPhone
I've had my 2015 SFS for a month and have been using Siri on my iPhone to send texts with no problem. Then yesterday, after doing just that, the cars touchscreen was frozen on the phone. I couldn't switch back to music, couldn't exit out of phone, couldn't use the cars voice activation. Nothing! Only went away after I shut off the car and opened my door.
I thought it was a one time glitch...but nope. Just happened again today. I had to pull over during my commute to work and shut the stinkin car off!!!
Golf/GTI VI :: 2013 - No Music After Beep When Pressed Siri
I started using Bluetooth with iPhone 5s today on my new GTI (2013 DE)... Everything works as planned except that when I push for Siri while playing bluetooth audio, I hear the beep, it mutes the music, I get the SIRI display that lists examples of different commands, then it goes back to regular screen and music resumes. I am not given the chance to use Siri... This stinks... I use SIRI a lot!

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Disable Voice Command Confirmations?
I feel the extra step to 'confirm' your command defeats the whole purpose of making things faster and easier with voice recognition.
me - "warmer"
car - "warmer?"
me - "yes"
car- "yes"
any way to disable it?
me - "warmer"
that's it.
Lexus GS 2013+ :: Voice Command - Asking For Directions For A Specific Business?
How you can ask for directions for a specific business?
For example:
Find "Home Depot"
Find "Ruth Chris Steakhouse"
I'm really impressed with how easy entering an address is (and how accurate the voice recognition is), but could not find a command that would allow me to directly find a route to a business name.
Lexus ES 2013+ :: Voice Command - Temperature And Radio Adjustments

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Voice Control For Music - Selecting Album To Play?
I tried using voice control to select an album to play and it wouldn't work. I have about 150 songs on a USB stick which works fine using the pointer, but I can't select using voice. I've had the car for 2 years and this I the first time I tried using it. Do you state the album name, the artist name, or the song name? Does it have to be listed by file number?

I just bought my mother's 2004 GX470 and I tried the voice command button on the steering wheel but no beep sounds and nothing happens. I tried looking up the information in the manual and seems like I'm doing everything right.
Second, when I brake I feel a thump as I release from the brakes, is that normal?
Golf/GTI VI :: Satellite Radio Sound Quality Is Bad
I've had my MK6 GTI for about 4 months now, and this is my first car with a satellite radio (RCD-510). I honestly don't know much about sat radios, or what to expect from them. I have the Dynaudio package. I run my head-unit with all the sliders in the middle right now.
I am not impressed with the sound quality of Sirius (or Ipod MEDIA-IN for that matter), to me Sirius sounds like low quality mp3 stream, less than say 128kbps. It sounds "muddy" and unclear, highs don't have definition and lack dynamic range. There is even some static between let's say hi-hat strikes or other crisp notes. Normal FM radio sounds better, and CD or good mp3 files on SD card even better. Sirius sounds so bad that it is practically worthless to me, comparable to AM reception.

I am looking to improve the stock transmission oil cooling. Since the factory routing runs through the coolant radiator and then through an oil radiator, these are the 3 methods im considering.
1. Replace the factory oil radiator with a larger one.
2. Eliminate running it through the coolant radiator and instead run 2 oil radiators
3. Add a fan to the factory oil radiator
Prius 2016 (Gen 4) :: How To Turn Off Voice Prompt Sound From Nav
This is on a 2016 Prius 4 with ATP and PCP. I do understand that I can turn down the sound in settings, but that is many key presses and I'm looking for a way to turn it off temporarily from the map itself.
Use case is that I tend to keep Nav running all the time for traffic conditions, even when I know the way. When I am conversing with others in the car I want to silence it briefly.
Lexus ES 2013+ :: Humming Sound At The Back Of Car
2013 ES350 silver for my wife - bought 3 months ago and drove 600 miles.
About one month ago, I could hear a humming sound at the back of the car (somewhere around backseat or in the trunk). At that time, car was parked in the garage. This sound is similar to having several honey bee in that area and humming at the same time. The sound disappeared by itself after several hours.
Yesterday, it happened again. We parked the car in the garage around 4pm and did not hear this sound at that time. At around 10pm, when I went to garage to get some tools, I heard this humming sound again. This morning, as soon as I woke up, I checked the car and the sound is gone.
I am not sure if there are any other reports of similar issue for 2013 ES350, or maybe this issue is just for my particular car? And this humming sound is not always there, so I am not sure how to repeat it in the repair department. Maybe I need to bring it to delaership and just let service technician take a look.
Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2014 - Voice Control Malfunction / No Sound While Radio Is Playing?
I just bought a 2014 Prius Three on Monday.
Yesterday, I accidentally hit the Voice Command button. It went to the screen and I got out of it. However then I couldn't hear any sound. The radio was clearly playing but no sound. When I pressed source it just showed a symbol in top right corner. I guess I should have thought to just turn the car off and restart because when I got home and did that, it worked fine.
My main question is about about the iphone 5, bluetooth, and Voice Controls.
I have bluetooth and Personal Hotspot enabled (so I do not have it plugged in to usb outlet) on my iphone enabled but it appears that I cant say "Play (Artist)" and have it play that from my iphone. It says something about an unsupported media device.
When I push the button on my Iphone and tell it to play a song, it does play a song but not the song I requested. It also shows on the car display that it is calling myself.
Voice commands for calling seem to work but I can't figure out if it is not possible to play songs using voice commands with an iphone or what the issue is.

View 14 RepliesLexus GX 2010+ :: No More Voice On Navigation For Directions
My Nav voice stopped talking to me. I did ignore many turns because I knew better than she did but I didn't think she'd get that mad and give me the silent treatment!
Anyway, drove from Portland Maine to NJ this afternoon and hallway through the trip I have no more voice on the Nav, directions on screen worked fine. I deleted destination and then started it again and she still gave me the silent treatment. I haven't gone back and started it again since I've been home to see if she's over it and is talking to me again or not but I'll report back tomorrow on that.
Lexus GS 2013+ :: Tock Sound That Comes From Around The Driver Seat
I drive a GS450h. Now I am experiencing some rattles that irritates. It is a "tock" sound that comes from around the driver seat. It is impossible for me to isolate, but it sounds like its from either of these locations:
- Driversdoor
- Roof
- A pillar driver side
- Dashboard
It doesn't matter where if the road is bumpy or not, actually it seems to be more present on smooth roads. I removed the covers of the door and looked for anything that moved in there, but it all seemed ok. How can I check for the rest? Is there a DIY for removing the roof and A-style panels/cover?
