Nicely paced, thorough and clear to get me started on the learning curve for voice commands in the new BMW I'm driving. Thanks.

Excellent!!! Thank you for clarifying so much. Only had my BMW for a few days and have barely scratched the surface of it’s features. Fantastic tutorial, you’re very easy to listen to

Thanks for helping me use voice commands easier . I have almost no more issues now

Helpful video. I learned a few things that will help me down the road. Thank you! And, for all the negative commenters, he did not have to make and share a video giving advice. I appreciate his time & helpful tips.

Very helpful and clear. Thank you! I'm amazed that BMW has not developed a series of videos like this, to help with the somewhat unintuitive iDrive user interface.

I love my new BMW 535i, thank you for the information on the voice commands. Thats awesome! I did not know about the Siri access. That is very cool

Thank you sir. I was impressed with how steady the phone was and very helpful!

Thank You for this very instructional vid. I picked up a 2016 X5 last week and even though the genius guy ran me thru the features and I also read the nav manual just yesterday this vid really pulled everything together for me. I especially liked the tip of using the exact menu commands on the screen first. My Wife has an Audi Q5 and I'm going to have her watch this vid as I'm sure some of your tips will work similar on her nav system too!

I just got my 2018 X6 and your video helps me greatly. Thanks a lot.

Great job! I was not aware of long press option! Now I can use siri for making calls. Thanks!

Just picked up my 2016 M535dx and this was very helpful, Thank you

fantastic job man, great video. You were clear and straight to the points!! two thumbs way up

Thanks for the video - very helpful. For me the time spent was worth it.

Thanks great help. What would we do without youtube. Thanks again

Thank you buddy! You Helped me a lot! 😊

Very helpful. I love my F30 335i. Most people still think it's new😉

Very helpful, esp. that Nav part,thx!

Learned some useful tips. Thanks for the informative video. Please do a short vid on saving GPS locations to the ten memory keys. Thx

thanks this cleared outalot for me, specialy how to use the phone voice together with the car

Excellent video. Very informative.

Didn't know that long pressing the voice command activates Siri. Great tip!

Clearly explained and very informative . Thanks for taking the time to help new owners.

This is the best of the BMW voice command videos. Could you do a short one about making hands-free calls, with emphasis on how to move through contacts using voice commands to find a particular one - like "Roofer" or "Pediatrician," where those terms are used as Titles in your Android phone contacts, but you can't remember the name? It also would be nice to have some more particular instructions on how to put different things on the Split Screen with the map. For instance, it would be nice to be able to have it revert to a split screen with the map along with trip information, mileage MPG, etc. I would like to have a "Home" screen that always goes to my preferred views, etc. FYI: I drive a 2015 BMW X1 28i with Xdrive, premium package and navi, but no heads up display. Thanks.

Very clear demo. Thank you.

Great video. Helped a lot.

Genius Thanks Particularly the Siri bit

Very informative. I'd like to see a very short video on how to enter an address in navigation one step at a time (i.e. state, city and street all separately). Thanks!

very helpful! Love my new BMW!

Excellent! Thank you!

Awesome dude...many thanks.

Thanks for great tutorial. Especially the part with sending commands to phone. I have been long holding the button and only Siri was chatting with me. Thanks 👍

good job - learned about the long press = siri thx!

Thank you very much for this video and your explanations. Your video is very clear?

outstanding job!

Thanks. Great info.

This was great, I actually learned something. Thanks

Thanks so much for this video. I couldn't get me navigation to give me an accurate address when asking. I always speak slowly, and I didn't go through the process like you did. I hope this works next time I try.

top video bro. very informative. great help. thanks a million

Hi Hansel, I have a 2014 428i with navigation and voice commands and a 20 gig HD. My question is I play my MP3 music via a USB flash drive and for some reasons certain songs only a couple out of a few hundred songs is not showing up in the folder when I open the folder in IDrive and Zi tried to search nothing comes up. I then plug the usb to my computer but I can see the mp3 is in there. I would then create a new folder in the usb and specifically add only those few missing MP3s initially to the new folder to see if it shows up in the iDrive and to my surprise it showed up but still in the original folder I still don’t see those few songs. Do you know the reason for it? It happened a few times to a few mp3s. Odd that the second time I added the mp3 to the new folder the iDrive would detects it but not the first time.any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

@teambimmer I have a BMW X5 2015 35i I want to know why in between my speed clusters that part is not lighted with the ladder that’s in between 🤔

Wow, mine has never worked like this. I never hear that chime either. Maybe I hold the button down too long because it does look for Siri. Will give it another shot.

Hi, thank you very much for your video! How do I delete my recorded voice commands?

Great!

l have bmw x1 x line 2018 model.how can l know what are the standed feaches in my car.because my dealer didnot tell me some.

Hi there, how do I pair my redial and received call to my Bluetooth.? I have just switched to an XS iPhone and noticed that that the redial and received call didn’t sync to the car. It’s only transferred all the phone book but all the existing redial and received call from my phone didn’t sync. Would you help me? My car model is X3, 2013. It was doing great with my last phone 7 plus!

Great Videos! I have a 2011 528i and I'm trying to utilize my S-voice from my Samsung S5 and I can't get it to respond by the long press you mention at the end of the video. Is my older BMW not compatible with this feature (if so, can I buy a hardware component to allow this) or is there a setting I need to adjust. Thanks for the help.

How about I an aftermarket system.? 2008 528i. My old system didn’t come with navigation

I press in my steering well and nothing hapen How can i on the button of voice comand

thank you but it IS called a "Head UP Display," not "heads up..." You WORK there....

How to change temperature?

Need to check my engine oil level using voice command alone. My I drive controller doesn’t work.

How did you get the 'gas mileage in tank left' to display in the center of the instrument cluster?

Awesome Tutorial.. When I am pressing the Voice command it states Navigation not enabled.. How to activate it

Do I have to say the address? If I have to just go to a store near me, can I just say the store name, for ex. go to target near me? Because we will not have the address handy to many of these stores.

Very informative. I needed the detail! I just got my 2011 M Sport yesterday and have been completely baffled by how the navigation system works. I don't have a manual for it. I do have a couple of questions. There is only 1 category when I navigate to categories; apparently, the previous owner did that. How do I retrieve or add categories? Also, the Google Map function is grayed out - can you tell me why and/or how to fix that? Thank you!!

My iDrive has not Sat Nav :(

You chirp so freaking long I had to bail out of this video. JUST DO THE DAMN DEMONSTRATION.

Can you rename siri, to say Tina? Where, you say Tina turn on the radio

I finished watching the whole (seminar) video, now all I need is to start saving money to buy me a BMW... my current car 1976 FORD Pinto does not offer these nice features... 😕😕😡

HI, i get no chyme voice and no reaction btw 420D xdrive. what is missing ? thanks

Great video, but still have issues speaking to seri

thanks! 9 out of 10 it responses with a totally made up address by itself. the care has its own mind where it want to go.

Hi, Is there a Quick voice command to navigate home?

Could you not directly start demonstrating, instead of telling what you are going to do and telliing what the system will do only later?

does it work in x5 2013 ???

Waffle for first 2 minutes! Why don't they get to the point?

I have nothing but frustration with my navigation on my BMW .. will most likely lease a different car next time

My BMW F30 is absolutely rubbish at voice recognition. Gets things wrong 90% of the time. You could say, "call Mum and it responds with, calling Doctors!", and you can put a postcode in and it says the letters all wrong. It's honestly the worst voice control I've ever had in a car.

No working

the voice control for the idrive doesn't work but it does for the phone :/

8:41

Instead of saying navigation, then enter address, I wish it would be easier and allow you to just say the full address right off the bat.

First 1.35 waffle. Just skip that peeps.

talk, talk, talk

My 525i is Japanese import . I gota learn Japanese. ☺

Wow 7 MINUTE INTRO!!!!!!!

This is definitely not going to work in my language.😄

bor...............................ing

FFS !!!!!!!!!!!!! fell asleep

worst voice system i every used... period

Way too much talking not enough demos

Useless, boring prattling until 7:00 mins...that's when the narrator finally demos the address entry for the navigation.

too much nonsense, too bad

Damn you talk too much about crap that isn't helpful. Please focus...

This video took forever. Probably just suited to dull-witted BMW drivers.
