savante21 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Unfortunate but not surprising to hear. I feel that we 2011 owners got screwed in a couple of areas. The 2009/2010 models came with cross bars for the roof rails(not sure if they all did but I think most did), the 2011's didn't and now the 2012's have them as standard again! The VR system on the 2011 cannot control music playback and the Nav system voice commands are non-existant. All of this is now on the 2012. The 2011 feels like an incomplete job to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very happy with my 2011 Crew but I feel that we got seriously short changed in a few areas. I agree (in regards to the Voice Regognition)... In my software development company we call these "Checklist Features"... Just enough functionality exists that you can check a box when you are running down a checklist of features comparing them to competing solutions (for example: the SYNC system or some other system) you can put a check next to "Voice Recognition"... but in reality, it's not as functional as it really could be or as many of the other "Voice Recognition" systems... be it due to "hardware" or lack of ingenuity(or motivation) or what have you... The "unpolishedness" of the system leads me to agree with your opinion that it is an incomplete system. I keep referring back to the point that the system cuts ipod tracks off 3 seconds early as my point of reference for this. How hard would these be to fix, really? I'm happy with my car, but the tech in it is very rough around the edges. If it was executed as well as advertised, I would have no issue.
