I believe it is for voice commands. It is also located on the steering wheel.

I thought it would make the navi repeat the turn directions again.

Do they put that button there even without Nav? Might explain why its not doing anything when you press it. I played around with the feature on a Nav car and its actually a big part of why I got that package.

Yep, that's correct. It is only used to repeat voice guidance directions and doesn't initiate any voice command features. And no, this button doesn't exist on the non-nav equipped units.

So this button is different from the button that you can input voice commands like "tempurature 65" or whatever?

Yep, that's correct. The voice button on the steering wheel has a different function that the voice button under the Nav screen.

we all be wishing for a LISTEN button, but I guess the G isn't unlike some humans in that regard ... there isn't one. On the other hand, if you think the nav voice is sexy ... "Please come here ..." (imagination ), press the VOICE button as much as you like .
