I can't dial 7 digit numbers with voice - it will only pick up 6 and ask me to continue, thinking it was the first (###-###-xxxx) of the number.

 

Mine does that too, only pics up the first 6 (even tho I say 7 numbers)
But then it prompts me to continue and I only say the last digit...pause for prompt to continue...then I say dial or press enter when it prompts again and it works fine

 

How loud does everyone have to talk when giving voice commands? I find myself speaking rather loud when saying PHONEBOOK GEORGE and like givng a inside lean towards the microphone

 

I don't use voice commands at all, it never gets anything right. I'm glad that they made it easy to dial from the phone book using the steering wheel controls.

 

I talk a little louder than usual, but I'm fairly soft-spoken.
I don't lean anywhere...I can sit back in my seat and it picks up the commands fine almost all the time. The only time it didn't really work was when I had some friends in the car... Although I do find sometimes I take extra care to enunciate
