Hello all, another question (apologies, the hand book/manual I have doesn't seem to match the model I have).
What is the talk button on the steering wheel for. My 2012 ( MY 2013) doesn't seem to do anything when I press it.
Would appreciate some help once again
Thanks.

Its for the voice control for the radio and sat nav etc, press and say where you want to go.

As I don't have a sat nav does that mean it won't do anything for me ?

Works for the radio on mine too, but then mine has nav, so i dont know if it works only if you have that myself.

Talk button doesn't wrk on GS models.

Ah i see GS means you have to Go Silent makes sense.

Have you tried pressing it REALLY hard then swearing at it?

Yes it says sorry I dont recognise that command, please try again.

its ANOTHER worthless piece of they have stuck on the GS to make it look posh. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Ha, I've just gone through this with my latest purchase. (its a GS as well). I took it back to the dealer, and the salesman tried the voice activation, and was stumped. So straight to the service desk, who pulled up the build spec, and there it was in black and white, 'Less voice activation'

So the other posts are right. It seems the phone talk/answer switches do work, but the voice activation doesn't. As they are all part of the same unit, the unit gets fitted anyway, even with a non functioning switch. Dont you just love JLR.

Perhaps she will talk to you then you just have to take the tape off her mouth?

bloody hell, I was wondering who was filming me  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Years ago my wife bought a new Fiesta L and I immediately noticed that only the driver door speaker was working. I rooted about and found a plug/socket that wasn't connected so I plugged them together and voila, the passenger door speaker burst into life. A few days later I happened to be getting a fuel and the salesman came out to ask how was the new car. I said fine and mentioned the second door speaker not working issue and how I had fixed it. He just smiled and said you only get two door speakers if you have the GL model but the difference was that the plug wasn't inserted, he went on to tell me a couple of other features that were already in the car but needed similar treatment. Of course, nowadays it's all activated by computer menus. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
