New Owner Comand Questions
1. I have entered names and phone numbers in my Address book, but when I say "Dial [name]" at best it comes up with the address book. What am I doing wrong?
2. I have had the car two days and only used the iPod. This morning I tried the radio and got neither Sirius (I'm supposed to have six months free) nor even AM/FM. The Weather Band does work. Also, real time traffic works. So, is there something I'm missing about getting the radio (both regular and satellite) to work? I know there's a Sirius 888 number, but the dealer was supposed to set it up. Even if they didn't, would getting Sirius started fix the AM/FM problem?
Thanks. I like the car, but man is this all confusion (and I'm typically a pretty technophilic guy.)

This has nothing to do with not having a voice tag....
You are making the same mistake I made last week with my new comand 4.5 system. The voice command is "dial name" or "call name"....it is NOT "call [name]" or "dial [name]".
So you have to first say "call name" and then look at the list shown....then select home or say home.
