I have a 2016 Z06 and somehow the voice recognition doesn't understand anything. Mainly I user it for the phone and when I name a persons name it starts all the kind of question nothing to do with the phone. Have I hit some button and changed something.

thanks

Make sure the vents are not pointed toward the top of the windshield (where the microphone presumably is). I have great luck with the voice recognition, but not so much when the air conditioning is blowing on the mic. (That cause of voice recognition problems is not unique to the Corvette.)

Hold down the talk button for like 5 seconds. Then let off and it'll use siri instead of the stupid car. Siri will get it right 99% of the time.

Of course this is if you use iPhone.

I have experienced the exact opposite. That damn siri never understands me even if I'm talking into the handset!!!!
