Default voice command failure

I had something wierd start happening a few weeks ago. When I press the voice command button it beeps and shows the voice command screen momentarily. The screen only stays up a second or so and even if I try to give verbal commands the screen dissapears and nothing happens. Before this started say 3 weeks ago I have had no problems with the system. I took it to my dealer and they said they are working with technical support and waiting for an answer. So has anyone else had this happen?

Have the same problem have you heard of a recall or did you get the dealer " they all do that"?

I know that the cord in the helmet connection comes loose, mine doe it frequently. Try pushing the connection in an giving a slight turn. You can check this by using the radio through the head set, you can hear a difference.

My headset is plugged in good and I am having the same problem. When I press the button on the left handle bar there is a beep, the screen will display a list of options for just a second and it goes away. It doesn't matter if I start speaking as soon as I press the button or not. There is not enough time to make a selection on the screen before it goes away.
