Every time I try to use my phone, the voice commands don't work, so I have to twist ***** and press buttons to call someone.

I figured out to say "telephone" instead of phone, but that's it!

I don't have MINI Connected.

I think I read somewhere that if you do not have MINI Connected, that the voice command button does not work. However, for those that have MINI Connected , just press the button and say "Voice Commands" and it will give you a bunch of options for the current screen displayed.

It will work, it just has very specific commands that don't seem to be written down anywhere...

I can say "telephone" and the phone menu pops up, but I can't seem to figure out the rest of them.

Try this: press "shouting man" button and say "Help" Voice command should respond with commands list. MINI deleted this option in 2013, then on R60 later on.

 

Thanks! I will try that when I get back home!

If the system doesn't respond verbally, your car probably was built after the deletion of that function.

 

I have one of the first Roadsters which I picked up in March 2012. Should be good. I'm just hardly home anymore.
