Voice Control of Sirius in 05 BMW 530i?

[jgcurtis@surewest.net]

I just bought a new BMW 530i with nav and Sirius installed at BMW dealer. Everything is cool except the Voice Control (Premium Sound System) is unaware of the SAT receiver and has no commands for it. I was a bit disappointed to find this as it would help navigating 120 channels. Has anyone found the same thing? Is an update or the like available or is the system just not reprogramed for the SAT?

Welcome to Satelliteguys.us jgcurtis.

I can't answer your question right now, but am on my way to CES and will ask. I agree, voice command control over Sirius would be great as the selections of content are greater. We are getting used to the technologies of today. I have a voice controlled navigation system in my vehicle with a touchscreen Sirius radio. I would die for a voice controlled Sirius system. I see one problem though, you would have to turn down the music to get the voice commands to understand.
