Before I start, I have to admit that I do not get along well with those automated phone menus that ask you to speak what you want. When I call my bank, I usually end up in a rage yelling "representative" over and over while my wife falls off the couch laughing at me. So with this background I was not really looking forward to my first experience with the Subaru handsfree system.
So there we were...sitting in the parking lot of the dealership yet to put a single mile on the XV. My wife and I tossed a coin and I won the drive home. The dealer had already talked us through connecting our iPhones via Bluetooth. That was pretty dang simple, I was impressed. Rocking out to some Back Keys, I pull out of the parking lot in my brand new ride. I decide to call my wife who is following behind me in our other Subaru, I press the handsfree button on the steering wheel and after it asks me what to do I say 'handsfree'......
Me - "call Tiffany"
Car - "call Jason"
Me - "call Tiffany"
Car - "call tricare'
Me - "CALL TIFFANY"
Car - "call Dominos"
Me - "are you kidding me"
Car - "repeat"
Me - "CALL TIIIIIFFFFFANNNNY"
Car - "call work"
Me - "aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggg"
Car - "repeat"
So at this point I decide to try another name....and it works. I try three more....all work. I try Tiffany again....get Tricare.
Ugh.
I've since added her as a speed dial number. Works like a charm.
