lol. What automotive voice commands can you ask Google or Siri that fail as well?

Apperantly "Brigs and Stratton gas tank" is "Did general Patton invent the tank?"

I can actually hear you screaming out "JAAAAAAA LAAAAAP NIIIIIIIIIIICK" on that one.

I just tried "Jalopnik", "Pagani Huayra", "Keonigsegg Agera", "SSC Tuatara" all of which worked. It couldn't get "Gelandewagen", "Gallardo", or "Murcielago".

Google seems to be OK with me, but Siri totally does not understand my dad (which is going to be interesting since I spent a good chunk of last weekend updating the parents to iPhone.)

I must be pronouncing things wrong *puts cookies down* lol

My dad had a flip phone up to 4 weeks ago. It was actually pretty tough. He is at construction sites all week. I got him a Galaxy S5 Sport.... trust me, it is a pretty good sized mountain to climb but he's got the hang of it Good luck with your pop :]

Only reason they asked me to help them swap was because the 2003 flip phone's case cracked - otherwise it'd still be chugging along. We looked at the S4 and S5, but since I already do iPhone support for work it's easier to have them on iPhone. It mostly doesn't go to the barn, but I got them a good case for it anyway.

Oh nooo them also. My dad's phone couldn't take that last fall and cracked where it flips and the sceen went blank.

And yes, a good case is key. They will get used to it soon for sure. I have to start learning more about Apple at work for the new in-car operating systems.

Theirs still worked, but it was definitely on its way out - every time they opened it the crack got bigger.

I suspect the Apple in-car stuff will be pretty good - they really spend time on interface design.

I had a webinar on them. Both Android and Apple is fantastic especially on new new XC90 and GLA. Not sure how the customers on our Volvo side will react lol :] They do not like too much change.
