Question Voice Recognition???

Do you need the phone for this option or can one just have the module installed for the nav, radio functions etc...

Thanks,
ROB

Sorry, Rob. I misunderstood the question at first. No, you don't need the phone. I just tested it in my car.

Do you need the phone to use the Concierge and repair services?

That's an interesting question. My guess is the answer is no. All their cars should have Tele-aid, etc, without having to select a phone option. Hmmm. As I recall I hooked up with all that stuff right away with my C32, and didn't have my V60 with voice control added until a week later.

No, you do not need the phone option to use tele-aid.
