Voice Control: Can you turn the radio off?

SeattleLion · 09-13-2010, 03:58 PM

I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid newbie question, but I am really stumped. I have a brand new touring (sport package and nav) 370. The voice commands are great. However, I can't seem to find one that will turn the radio off. I can turn it on and tune to XM, FM, USB, etc., but I can't find a command to turn it off.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Bob

i dont htink there is a voice command for it. you just press the volume knob and whether yuo're listneing to ipod, cd, usb, XM, AM, FM etc it will turn off.

I thought so. Disappointing. Even my old Prius (sold it to get the Z) could use voice to turn off the sound system. I consider that a miss by Nissan.

i see what you're saying, but i've never really been bothered by it since it takes less efort to hit one button to turn it off, than it does to hit a button, and say something and wait for it to turn off. look on the bright side, Your prius may have had the 'voice activated audio off' but your Z is fast. I must say, the idea of people selling hybrids to buy sports cars puts a smile on my face

maybe you can DIY a clap on clap off thingie for your stereo.

I you close your eyes, the radio turns off eventually.

If I'm in a situation where I'm being held captive in the car with the stereo on full blast with some god awful music playing, and my hands were tied to the steering wheel, and the only thing I can reach is the voice command button, then I would say yes, Nissan missed the boat on this one.

then you could still lower the volume all the way. i sometimes do that when my gf puts on her ipod in my car just to mess with her.

Welcome to the forums!

Thank you. I have been a sports car person since the old days. I had one of the first 240Z's. In a 4 year loss of sanity, I decided a hybrid would be cool. It is cool technology, but it is no fun to drive. Over the years I had a Porsche C, a Triumph Spitfire, The 240Z, a MR2, and now 40 years after I got my 240Z, a 370! I have only had it a little over a week, but I am completely in love.

While I agree the voice command is a bit ridiculous (and slow), I do miss the climate control by voice the newer Acura's have for direct temperature setting. Also the dual zone feature

It's ok, we all make mistakes

I'd love to see some of the pics of those other cars. all of those are pretty bad ***.

Btw, which MR-2? I had a 1989 (1st Gen) SC setup with HKS stage II and rally suspension. It was a great car.
