i guess both our cars are now dumb cars.
i now use google android auto or apple car play to call people and send messages and also navigate. previously i could do all these with BMW itself.

Voice commands still work it is the intelligence behind them that is dumbed down. Prior to disabling I could just speak the word Safeway and a list of Safeway markets would pop up displaying distance. Now I must enter an address.
So the actual FEATURE of voice control works but it got a lot dumber. BTW also the deaf part I think happens when they switch off the Connected Drive and you have to reset the system so it hears properly again.
Looking at Hyundais and Audis now. hate to sell a car with 32K that I like over $12.50 a month but I am aggravated.
