Hi,

Being the proud owner of an almost perfect i30 for a whole 2 days (had an issue with a jammed seatbelt after 5 minutes that required some attention), I have been busy playing with all the new toys.  I was pleasantly surprised how painless it was to connect my phone via Bluetooth (galaxy s3) but am wondering how many of you good people bother to use the voice controls after the first few days. 

Also, how is it with accents?  It just about copes with my Wigan twang.

I can imagine I'll probably only use a tiny proportion of the stereo commands.

Hi Mudhut

Sounds like great fun.. Don't know much about the voice control on the new model (we've had two of the  previous series)  :Pout:

It controls loads of things! I find button pushing easier & more theraputic...

I find voice control on the i40 to be nothing more than a gimmick it tends to do the wrong thing for me with my accent most of the time, I have to slow down what I am saying so much that I am quicker pushing the buttons!

Possibly not.. if it wasn't bed time I'd check the Hyundai website .. Maybe only the Elite and Premium in OZ if any ?

That's ok.
I have my new Navman 350 LMT so my Swedish au pair girl can tell me where to go every day.  :D

db08, That sounds much better.  You really aren't missing much, nice novelty but that's about as far as it goes.
