Speech Processing System (SVS): Introduction
The Speech Processing System (SVS) of the E65 is an evolution of the SES system familiar from the E38. If compared to the E38 speech processing system (up to 40 commands) the customer can now choose from 400 possible commands.
The SVS is used in the MOST network as a means of control and communication between the user and the entire system. It offers improvements in operability of the vehicle and increases driver comfort. The safety-related functions of the vehicle are not voice controlled.
The voice input is always in addition to buttons or Control Display functions. The Speech Processing System is standard equipment and works in association with the telephone.
The microphone of the hands-free telephone equipment is used as the input device for SVS.
The SVS will initially be available in three languages: German, U.S. English and U.K. English. Other languages may follow in subsequent years. There are currently hardware differences between language versions.

- Telephone
- Navigation
- Radio
- Audio CD Player
- CD Changer
- Cassette Player (if installed)
- Climate Control (planned)
- Internet Browser (planned)
- Telematics (planned)
