  • In this video, we showcase 10+ useful voice commands for the 2023 BMW X1, the latest model in BMW's lineup of luxury SUVs. With the advanced voice recognition system of the X1, you can control various features of the car, from adjusting the temperature to changing the radio station, all without taking your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road.
    In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to activate the voice control system, and walk you through various voice commands that can enhance your driving experience. You'll learn how to use voice commands to adjust the climate control, access the navigation system, and make hands-free phone calls. Additionally, we cover some lesser-known voice commands, such as opening the sunroof, turning on the interior light, and even adjusting the color of the ambient lighting in the car.
    Whether you're a BMW X1 owner or just curious about the latest technology in luxury cars, this video is a must-watch. By the end of it, you'll be able to harness the full power of the X1's voice recognition system, making your driving experience more enjoyable and efficient than ever before.

    Do you use voice commands in your BMW? Do you like them more than using the iDrive knob?

    •  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Getting rid of the iDrive knob was a complete disaster.
      Playing music albums is incredibly difficult and dangerous now. When opening up the Media section, just the first half a dozen artists or albums are shown and you have to flick up dozens of times to get to later in the alphabet. You can’t scroll through albums as you used to be able to.
      It’s like someone drank the Musk Koolaid and never thought about how drivers need to interact with the system.
      Such a retrograde system.
      If I’d known how bad it is, I might have considered an alternative brand.
      As a driver of BMWs for 20+ years, this is a real shame.

    As someone with the latest X1 with the tech pack and driving assistance professional, the voice command works fine and means there are very few times you need to touch the screen. Is it perfect no, but neither was the dial in the central console. Embrace the change, it works.

    • @bmwblog

      Not perfect, but could have been better. This is why they are improving the voice commands in iDrive 8.5 and 9

    Thanks for the video and effort.
    Did anyone notice that there is a cut after every voice command and its execution?
    I am guessing it's because ID8 takes too much time to process the voice commands. Sometimes up to 5 seconds. Its a nice party trick but its usability is not practical in real life.
    IMHO A lot of refinement is required before they can replace hard touch buttons.

    • @bmwblog
      @bmwblog  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not a trick. We just didn't want viewers to wait for no reason. People click away. But yes, there is a delay. Nothing new really

    (speaking as someone who has the X1 on order, this is one of my fears) What if the X1 responds with something like this? "I'm afraid I can't do that. This is Canada. Too cold to open the windows. I will lock the doors and drive you to Florida... then I'll open the windows. Do not try to disable me or else...." (this is why everybody needs one of those little emergency hammers to break car windows just in case) 🙀

    • @bmwblog
      @bmwblog  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't think it can do that. But for example, it does say that it cannot open the trunk via voice commands

After months of waiting, I finally got the production number for my X1.... hopefully, it will arrive in the US within a couple of months. :) By the way, BMW needs to send you guys a commission check.... Watching your videos played a major part in my decision to defect from Lexus to BMW X1. :) (no easy feat, since everybody in my family has been driving Lexus vehicles for the last 24 years)

    This is helpful! How do you completely turn off personal assistant? I’ve notice there are times I’m singing in my car and the PA starts talking to me, which interrupts the music. It talks to me without any commands. So I kind of want to turn it off all together. Is that possible?

    It is so disingenuous to be doing a jump cut after every single command to hide the delays and unreliability. Even with iDrive 8, voice commands are so slow and unreliable compared to basically any other (non-car) voice assistant.

    • @bmwblog
      @bmwblog  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Nothing to do with that. We already know the delay. The idea was to not have people wait and focus on what the commands are. That's all

January ... 2024 ! (I am living in Belgium - only 700 km away from Regensburg factory in Germany). Have the impression that all intercontinental deliveries have priority !?

    Who ever use voice commands they are slow and not practical. No controller is a deal breaker. Touch screens should be banned as they are clear distraction.

    • @bmwblog
      @bmwblog  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They are a bit slow, but the question is: how fast do you need them to be? Will it make a difference between 1 sec or 5 sec when it comes to adjusting the AC?

    • @cp4512
      @cp4512 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Voice commands are much less of a distraction than using a dial, especially for tasks like setting satnav. You keep your hands on the wheel and don’t need to watch the screen so much safer.
