Voice Control commands??

I was just wondering....how useful is the voice control on the navi?? Like I know you can control the climate, audio, and navigation....but thats very superfical....what can you really do?? i.e. Change CD Tracks/Radio Stations, Colder, Hotter....etc???
Also, what functions do you find the most useful and least useful??
Finally, how accurate is the navi's voice control?
THanks guys

Depends on the whether you have a thick accent or not. I have a German/Brazilian Portuguese/California English accent and the NAVI system recognizes me without problems.

Never use it.

1) Like to have window or sunroof open too often

2) Haven't bought new disc that lowers fan speed to reduce background noise

3) Recognition is OK (better than Clarion Gen 1 AutoPC, but that isn't saying much)

4) Not using it makes you out of practice at the vocab list and the pronounciations that work so it's sort of a spiraling effect...

I actually use it for everything...specifically find restaurants, gas stations, change radio stations, change CD/CD tracks, and control climate. There is a lot more that you can do with it but those are the ones that I use most. I never take my hands off of the wheel/eyes off of the road. It recognizes my voice accurately.

Normal conversation voice. It cuts the stereo when waiting for you to speak, so it's very easy.
