Voice Control and Speech - Issues and Questions

From other VW forums, it looks like voice command isn't available for the Aus market:

Sorry to hear about your problems spikerboy.. would love to know which dealer you experienced this at as I am to from melbourne and would love to avoid it!

In regard to the voice control, when I spoke to my dealer about the update he said their particular dealership are a month away from having the golf update!

Does anybody have any details about about the software update, a name or code,

I went to the dealer today and they had no idea

We'll some people are getting quoted from dealers for a software update to fix, check out the thread

Its just called the Voice Control Module accessory. I don't know why dealers still haven't heard of this as I was informed (when calling VW Customer Care) all dealers and service departments were sent out information from VAG regarding the VCM accessory becoming available.

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to update you on this, I have been speaking to Volkswagen Customer care and they tell m there are different fixes depending if you have sat nav or not.

For a Sat Nav model the part code you need is 5G0054802A.

Were you able to find out whether the "accessory" was just a software upgrade only or did it include the installation of hardware as well necessitating the removal of some of the interior trim?

When I spoke to customer care, they said it was purely a software update.

The difference in cost is because it is "sat nav". It makes no difference to them with regards to installation. Insert installation medium, follow steps as per instructions, charge excessive amounts of money.
