Hi folks - I'm a newbie. I have a VIA 1525 TM which is supposed to have voice command. I can't find it anywhere, including the keyboard. Many help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi @David_J47H
Welcome to the community!
You will need a computer voice active- Samantha. If you don't find it on the device then please download it using MyDrive Connect.
Once you have installed and activated it just plan a route and test the device. It should give you the voice guidance.

Well, no. I already had Samantha. Clicked on her, she did alittle description of her voice, etc. I was told by someone that a microphone icon had to appear with the keyboard. Which is what I don't have. Next step?0

Hi
@David_J47H
The "XQ" VIA 1525 TM, 8GB + micro-SDHC, MyDrive Connect is a NAV4 Device
Check... Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Settings --> Voice Control
Does the unit have the Microphone Slot....

No microphone slot. And no Voice Control icon. Additional: When I first plugged it into my Apple, it showed up as Start 52 (?) My question mark. But I clicked on ahead anyway. I'm guessing there was a bad mix-up at the factory. And the About info still list it as 1525! In any case, I have reset the unit, and am returning it to the seller. Thanks for all your help. I've learned a few things.0
