From time-to-time I use the Voice Commands to control various functions.

For instance:

"Audio Mode XM1"

Or, "Radio FM 106.5"

Or, "Driver Temperature 72"

When I hit the Voice Command "Talk" button the radio will mute.

However, for some reason I cannot understand, as soon as I hit the Voice Command "Talk" button, my wife starts talking. This does not occur when I am driving alone; only when my wife is in the car.

Does anyone know if there is a way to Mute my wife when I activate the Voice Command Talk button?

Any and all adivce is welcome.

TIA.

 

ahhh the ever elusive Wifey Muter!

Pleeeeease do post the solution when you find it!

 

Burbs, swear to god, I hit the "Talk" button, the car "beeps" and you'd think I was Pavlov and just rang the dinner bell. As soon as she hears that "beep" - yap, yap, yap.

You might imagine, my attempted command plus whatever the wife is saying confuses the hell out of the car. Who knows what command it'll decide it just heard - "Driver Airbag, Deploy" - who the hell knows.

I say, "Honey. Sugar. Sweety-Pie, you are the love of my life and the mother of my children, but please DO NOT TALK when I'm talking to the F'n car."

3 seconds later - "Talk", "beep" - yap, yap yap.

 

You're killin' me Bear!

Hey, this thing would probably do the trick....

But you'd never get laid again.

 

^ lol at the shocker

 

Whenever I have someone else in the car, I always announce that I'm about to do a voice command. Something like "hey, check this out..." and then click the button and say "temperature 72" or whatever. But what I always get from the passenger is "wow what's that what's it going to do what did you just do?" right as soon as a I close my mouth. So of course the car registers the other person's voice and doesn't get the command right.

 

What would HFL do without the "Pardon" prompt.....LOL.

Pardon.....pardon.....pardon........sometimes I argue with the HFL!
