- “Make it cooler”

You can also modify various controls in your vehicle using voice commands:

To search for, or navigate to, a location, say:

If you have defined a navigation address for your home or work locations, you can use a voice command to navigate there by saying “Navigate home” or “Take me to work”.

To call or text a contact on your Bluetooth-connected phone (see Phone and Calendar), say:
