For context, I got a new MDX 2015 (Canada's Elite Model) 5 days ago.
I initially though I had not received the car with updated ODMD software as I perceived some lag in the map/navi, and the green traffic lines did not seem that bright. But I was getting album art/song names, etc., I was able to edit my audio sources, and I thought those were part of the updated version (BTW, by updated I am referring to TSB 2014-037 from October 31).
So after further inspection, TSB 2014-037 refers to update to Database version ST003.02.00, Software version 3.00.2803 which provides:
Audio Improvements
- Storing Presets for radio from main ODMD screen
- Song Information when available on main ODMD or Preset screen
- Play modes (basic audio functions) from main ODMD screen
- Audio source customization (Edit Order option)
Navigation improvements
- Full address entered by voice
- Traffic (brighter green lines, press talk and say Display Traffic, from map menu option to display/hide traffic)
- Guidance Volume adjustment using steering wheel volume dial or volume knob
-Address book/place category scrolling
Phone Improvements
- Phone pairing help (prompts while pairing)
- Call option scrolling
Additional Improvements
- Voice recognition settings easier to find under system settings
What I got in my car is Database version ST003.02.00, Software version 4.00.2307 (a higher, presumably newer /better version) which seems to provide everything listed above except the Entering full Address by voice part (still get the separate fields that require spelling), and the green traffic lines don't seem that bright. I thing the lag that I described before is probably 'normal' and noticed that when I move the pointer around in the map, it stops automatically every 500 or 600 m.
Any input from your own experience, cars, etc. would be appreciated. Maybe I am doing something wrong to get it to accept full address voice command, although I do as it says in the TSB.
One last comment, while trying to enter an address by voice, basically telling a whole address while selecting the Street field (I think the system expects you to spell the name very slowly), I said a full address, and it went to processing the received command but just froze the whole ODMD part (Top screen with the navi, etc) The bottom screen continued working fine. When I stopped the car, and restarted it (This is like something developed by Microsoft), it re-started well for a minute or so, until I got warnings from the LDW and CMS, etc. So I restarted it again, and has been fine since, still no address by voice allowed.
