Is a voice command list available?

Try "All Commands' or "Navi commands" while parked and learn them. I use voice navigation with success but had to learn a few things first:

1. The command has to be exact although there are multiple options to use
2. The fan speed on high or next to high can mask proper recognition
3. Speak faster, it does not like slow commands

Example: Destination 11305 Alamo St. San Antonio Texas (no zip code necessary)

There will be a pause (perhaps longer than expected), then it will say "Texas" followed by a pause. Sometimes the street will produce "multiple entries" which display on a numbered list. You glance at the list and say which one (by list number). Usually it's number "1". If it gets the street without question, it will usually read back the house number. Long house numbers like 11305 should be initially spoken as "one, one, three, oh, five" quickly. Saying "eleven three oh five" or "eleven thousand three oh five" will often fail and force a repeat of that portion.

The system may display three routes options such as "fast, ecological, short" however you can just say "start" and it will start mapping. Unfortunately there does not seem to be voice commands for common requirements like "stop guidance or zoom" but you can bring up the map with "show map". In this case just wait and the confirm screen dismisses automatically.

Setup "Favorites" whenever possible as they are easier and quicker to use. A favorite setup as your home address allows you to leave anywhere for home by simply commanding "Favorite Home". If you get lost "Favorite Home" gets you to familar territory pretty quick even if it's not really where you want to go next. Similarly you can save any location once you get there as a favorite for later voice command. You can also find the location on the map and save.

You can override a current route by commanding a new destination or favorite. It will go through the same steps and will route to the new location, replacing the old.

The best reason to master the voice commands is that you can use them while you are moving when manual methods are not available.

 

I've found that the voice command system is very sensitive to noise, and often won't work when I'm driving with the windows open. (Me: "Go home" SYSTEM: "Oklahoma.") However, when I roll up the windows, it's usually flawless.

Don't know of a printed list of commands, tho.

 

You don't need to shut off the fans, just don't use the top two bars of fan speed when trying voice. I find the upgraded Prius v AC system does fine on medium after you have cooled it down. Most of the time I don't need max fan unless I have left it in the sun for a few hours.

 

Your profile indicates you are 78 so, if true, congratulations on buying a Prius and drive safe. Read my first post above assuming you have a Prius v model 3 Display Audio and not the Advanced Navigation Prius v (usually on the model 5). The display audio uses a simpler command set than the PDF below which applied to the 2004 model.

The Display Audio manual in your glovebox has a Voice Command section on page 185 of the second section. Pressing the talk button on the steering wheel starts it. To hear all possible commands press talk, wait for the beep, and then state " More Commands" or "All Commands". It will read off all navi, media, phone, and radio commands with a pause between each.

Simply pressing the talk button will bring up the top voice command menu after a short delay.

 

Is this the one what are you looking for?
My favourite command is: "I'm hungry" - it works

 

If you have stored a destination named Kroger, press the Talk button, wait for the beep, then say Favorite Kroger.

Be sure to make the stored or saved name short and easy to pronounce, don't use the the whole address which is listed by default. Edit the name (using the rename function) to make it simple to remember and pronounce.

 

on that system there are only 33 cmds, put the talk button you can go thru the list with few key press.

jrparker provided great tips, if you need help on destination entry here is a video on it

 

Thanks for taking the time to put this response together. I pretty much gave up on trying to use the voice commands because of the poor results. It usually misunderstood what I was requesting. I suppose that was because of the background noise. I've been storing my destinations as favorites before I hit the road, as you suggested. Once the favorite is stored, you can access it while moving. I'll give the voice commands another try using your tips.

 

LOL, U have to try the new system with the new Home screen and split screen.. that system went a step back. U have to say "Enter a address" 1st before you can say the complete destination.

A good note with these system is they support a larger command base.

 

in the older system U say "Destination", "House Number", "Street Name", "City" all in a single sentence 1 step process.
in the newer system U say "Destination" wait for the system to give U a prompt or U push PTT then "House Number", "Street Name", "City". 2 step process.

 

Great thread, thank you all-- as I too am frustrated with the system on our 2014 P-3 that we just bought. My wife already gave up on it, (its her car), so i will try these tips to educate myself, then try to educate her, if they work...

 

tell us your problems, perhaps kind ppl here can help you resolve those issues.
