Speech Recognition

The Speech Recognition feature is implemented only in a Mid/High System Radio- CSM module. There is no Speech Recognition in a Low System. Speech Recognition allows the user to command various features of the radio via voice commands. For addition information refer to the owners manual. For model year 2018 (and forward) Mid/High systems, part of the speech recognition functionality is controlled via off-board cloud connection. A speech icon in the radio allows user to see if an utterance has been received by the off-board cloud. Points-of-interest (POIs) data are also stored off-board. Any disruption in the connection to the cloud will cause a partial loss of functionality for these systems.

For model year 2018 (and forward) there will also be a new speech recognition feature called Barge-in. This allows the user to speak over the voice prompts generated by the system. This feature is turned off by default from the factory and must be enabled by the user.
