When the voice recognition system is used, a message appears in the MMI screen stating that the phone book is too large and that the voice recognition system cannot be used. When music is streamed to the MMI system with the Bluetooth A2DP connection, the music intermittently pauses or seems to skip. The condition goes away once the phonebook transfer is completed. The MMI uses a limited portion of the total memory to convert the name and phone number fields of downloaded contacts into a voice command (text to speech). Extensive processing takes place if too many letters are used in the first and last name fields or if numbers or special characters are entered. The remaining memory is dynamically assigned to different applications which can also affect the capacity of the voice command processing. The MMI does not respond until the process is completed or it may freeze if phonebook fields are too large or do not follow typical formatting. In addition, the text-to-speech capacity is exceeded and the voice recognition system is rendered inactive.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10120048-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10120048-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10120048","components":[{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment
