I just got the car two days ago. I still have a lot of reading and research to do regarding voice command.

I would love to graduate to this level and never have to touch the screen? Is the voice command really that user friendly and efficient??

Absolutely!

Press button: Call wife's cel, it confirms with call wife's cel, right? you answer yes.

Play Beachboys - it shuffles Beachboys songs off of ipod or usb or card

Play rock - one of 20ish catagories you can pick from your music

radio 99.5 - tunes 99.5 fm

radio xm7 - plays xm7

Love it!

Cool. I have a 2010 BMW and the voice recognition there is horrible. Hopefully the C7 will be more functional and won't aggregate to the point of not using it because of sheer frustration.

I keep a small 3" x 3" lens cleaning cloth inserted in the cigarette lighter. Works GREAT! It's easy access whenever you need it and you don't have to raise and lower the screen to get it. (I know.....someone will say don't touch the element contact) You don't have to shove the cloth that far down in the lighter receptacle, plenty of room.

As an add-on item I bought one of these 10 packs on my last order of micro fiber towels. They work great and I keep one behind the screen:

Actually, my wife's last Lexus had a mouse on the console where you hand naturally lays. The mouse was fixed to the console so it wouldn't come off or get lost, but it controlled the pointer on the screen. Worked fine with no fingerprints. There are solutions.

I use the Lexard brand two-pack of screen protectors on other touch nav screens and they are a good improvement. I get the anti-glare and it works great. Finger prints wipe once every other week or so and it's good.

Seriously, though...it's an option...and it works.

I see you have 15 favorites and as with mine, they cover up part of the station/singer/song information. Wish we could solve that but I don't think we can.
