I hate voice assistants - mine has been off from the start, along with Siri.

I'll be fine with them when the technology finally matures and probably depend on them if I lose my marbles but until then...

I use Siri in the five. With the phone plugged in. Phone/ message/ and what’s app messages and also asking for routes to places displayed on the car screen using Waze. Pretty successful in most cases.

I tried it, it's pretty terrible. Even the salesman at the dealership struggled to get it to do basic stuff, it didn't work and he moved swiftly on.

Luckily I just use Android Auto and Google's voice assistant is much better (but also not perfect at times) so it doesn't really bother me personally

The only two commands I use through the "Voice" steering-wheel-buttons, are "Maximum / Minimum Brightness!".

I didn't know it did that - that would be useful when driving.

Is there any logic at all to who it selects, for example is the name it selects in a certain position in the list in relation to the name you ask for ?

I use it for "radio on" and "increase fan speed" and other HVAC basic commands to free up a button on steering wheel for 360 camera (left) and driving mode (right).

My experience with this when trying to make a phone cal using my voice is:

"Hello MG - Call Wendy"
"Calling Phil B"

"Hello MG - Call House"
"Calling Starling Customer services"

Tried many times, with many tones of voice, fast, slow etc and the result is always the same.

My info system is on R30
Tried it whilst driving and when stationary too

Can you train the system to your voice ?
What are other peoples experience with this ?

I had a major tantrum with the dealer a couple of weeks ago, having sent them videos. The MG4 Trophy was brand new. I pointed out that if they can’t get it to work then I wanted my money back (Consumer Protection Act etc) to which they agreed. The voice system was unusable - either didn’t hear or didn’t understand, and only worked when pushing the button. Then gave absurd responses or just said it didn’t understand. They loaned me an MG ZS (the bigger one) in which Hello MG seems to work quite well. They’ve had the MG4 for a week now. They are waiting for a software update! Watch this space
