At last we picked her up on New Years Eve after ordering 12th October.

I am really pleased and yesterday I set aside the obligatory hour to sit in the car and go through the manual.

I found pairing my phone and getting my Ipod Touch to work really easy.

One thing I can't seem to sort is the redial using the phone button on the steering wheel.

It says something like "to redial the last outgoing number press and hold the phone button for more than 2 seconds"

I know that button works because if I have a phone number highlighted on the display and press it it dials the number.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Pete

Hi Pete,
I think the function only works on compatible phones.. have a look at thecompatibilitylist on the "You+Nissan" section of the GB site to see if your phone supports it..

Thanks for the link

My Nokia 5530 is there and compatible...guess I will have to live without this function

Cheers

Mine needs to press redial on screen not on wheel to work it. Have a Nokia 5800.

Yeh, I have to press the button on the dash, not the wheel, in order to redial

Not sure if this helps but I drive a Qashqai, and I use a BlackBerry Storm1. The connectivity between the phone and car is brilliant.

Im assuming and hoping that the car system in the Juke is similar if not the same as the Qashqai's.

For redial (in the Qashqai) All I have to to is press the phone button briefly and the display shows "redial"? Then another press, and the system will redial the last number.

Then one day I found a really cool feature quite by accident.

You have to understand that Im an ex British pat living in the Bavarian Alps. I can speak the language but reading a car manual is a no no.

So, there I am in this big beautiful white Qashqai and I was in a traffic jam on the Autobah. I stretched as you do sometimes and accidentally pressed the phone button on the steering wheel. What happened next blew me away. The car asked me, through my phone what I wanted to do.

So that means with Blackberry, the voice command option is active when connected to the Qashqai's system. COOL or what?

I get my Juke in April and hope it does the same.

Can someone try this out for me. Keep your finger on the phone button for about 5 secs, then you should hear a "beep" and then your phone will talk to you.

Happy playing from the Alps.

I'm an iPhoner.. when I hold the steering wheel button for 5 secs or so it activates the voice control feature of the iPhone...

 

[coupecruiser]

[Hasimon]

Collected Desmond this morning

After setting up the bluetooth with my Nokia 6700 classic, i also found the steering wheel "answer" button doubles as voice recognition dialing.

1) press and hold for approx 3 sec
2) voice recognition is announced with message on connect screen.
3) after saying your contacts name there is a pause
4) connect repeats contacts name
5) pause
6) connect announces "calling"
7) contact is dialled.

It may be the profile i have set on the phone, but it also auto answers in comming callsafter approx 3 secs of ringing.

Very pleased with this function as it was a useful setting i had on my old car with a Parrott kit.

Just an update to say this DOESN'T work on the 'type A' head unit which is standard on the Acenta Sport

Press and hold either the dash or steering wheel phone button as long as you want and it doesn't initiate the voice dialling on my iPhone (3GS with 4.2.1 firmware)

 

[Juke-of-earl]

The Daywoo unit is no wear as clever as the connect system,but that's why you pay a premium for the next model up .

 

[bean]

Am gutted as I cant find my HTC wildfire on the list

 

[lazarus]

well cant you just hold the iPhone button for a couple of secs and start it manually?

Laz

 

[lazarus]

and yes you can just hold the iPhone home button for a couple of seconds to initiate voice recognition and it comes through the car audio just fine

Yes, but on most other head units (e.g. the standard head unit on the Qashqai Acenta for example) you just press and hold the phone button on the dash or steering wheel and that initiates voice dialling on most voice able phones.

Don't see why you shouldn't have this functionality on this head unit also??

 

[lazarus]
