My XC60 is haunted

sootyvandriver · Feb 14th, 2024, 22:06

On two occasions in the last week a banner very briefly has appeared at the top of the Sensus screen. This is accompanied by a voice saying something I can't quite make out. This takes place in a second or two.
Any ideas what is causing this?

its at it again

A voice through the audio system asking 'can I help you'
not pressed SOS sos or anything.

Ask it to “Open the Pod Bay doors” and see what happens🚀

When it happens to me it's because I've accidently touched the "voice control" button on the steering wheel.

It's not the normal voice assistant voice, it sounds like a real human.

Oddly it has happened in the same location twice

Could it be your Google voice assistant (or Siri for those on the dark side) playing through the speakers via Bluetooth?

I had to change the settings on my phone as it was constantly waking up and responding to stuff said on Radio 4 (which made a change from me shouting at Radio 4 in the mornings.....).

That alleged human said anything else? Tried to talk to you? If it did not, it's most likely not a human but some voice assistant glitch.

My 2022 xc60 with google infotainment has started saying “I don’t understand “ as I am leaving the car with everything turned off! Seems to be after the latest software “upgrade”
Helpdesk says to restart the infotainment again, any others with same issue?
Thanks

My Google one got very confused. I inadvertently said something in a conversation about voices, the car responded and it changed to a male voice for everything - except the map, which stayed female.

When getting directions the next day, the male and female kept alternating. It was like I had Mr+Mrs Google having a chat in the back seat. Managed to set it back to female for everything.

Now every now and again I get a DIFFERENT female voice during navigation for odd prompts. It's like her sister has just popped up.
