The voice control in Betty works just fine.

"Suzy, turn it up a bit please."

Seems to be a losing battle, Bill. The new guys are just oblivious. ¯\_(?)_/¯
Try to think of it as an opportunity to introduce Bini owners to what a real Mini is.
One.
At.
A.
Time.
I am inspired, and will use this tact in answering the "vanos selenoid" post.

Indeed. We're bi-mini-ual here. 2 BINIS + 1 Mini.

  ~ 30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions @ the shrink. ~

Thanks for your post!  Unfortunately, we don't have specific experience with all of the phone features on the newer MINIs.  If you can send us the last 7-digits of the vin number, I can check to see if the phone option was included in the build of your car.  kens (at) minimania.com
