disable voice control

I am building a car pc which uses the steering wheel inputs for navigation. I rarely ever use the voice control feature of my car, so I was hoping to disable it so I could map this steering wheel button to my car pc instead.

Unfortunately, I have not had much success in doing so. I have already done the following:

1 - using NCS Expert, I've deleted VO $620 from the CAS and FRM and NFRM ECU modules
2 - using NCS Expert, I've set "SVS" to "nicht_aktiv" in the CAPPL module

Everything I've found on the net is instructions to do the opposite, adding this feature to the car - and most people get stuck with needing the FSC code to enable the feature. It appears my car already has this FSC code - is it possible for me to extract my FSC code for safe keeping (in case I ever want to re-enable voice control) and then overwrite(?) it with an "invalid" FSC code to temporarily disable my voice control?

Can someone suggest another safe-ish option for me to temporarily disable this feature in my car?

I have a 4/2006 production date E90...

many years later did you figure this out? I just installed an MMI which uses the voice button to switch video inputs.

... and a couple years on again, I have the same question for the same reason; want to use the voice control button to activate an MMI without activating the CIC voice control :-(

Has anyone managed to do this?

Im no expert but imagine that removing a feature is the same as adding one.
Change VO; delete the code
Then you have to write the VO to cas and FRM
Default code the module.... in this case ccc or cic ...

Per my post above. It's easy to code out.

I'm trying to find a way to use the steering wheel controls to control an arduino. My two buttons on the left, (voice controls and answer call) don't do anything so I assume I don't have that option selected. If you buy an aftermarket radio they come with a Bluetooth dongle that plugs into the OBDII port and transmits the steering wheel inputs over Bluetooth to control the aftermarket radio. My assumption is that the dongle reads the information signal from the can bus and sends it out. Does anyone know anything further about this?

Have you tried as suggested above? OP's post may not have completed it correctly.


NCS Expert profile without manipulation. Load your FA/VO, delete your $620 save the new FA/VO to CAS and FRM (NFRM) using FA_WRITE.* Then default code run SG_CODIEREN on your CCC or CIC.

I'm having the same issues. For some reason even though voice control is disabled in coding via removal of the voice control option from the FA and default coding CCC modules (and changes are confirmed by reading back the trace files in manipulation mode) pressing the voice button on the steering wheel still triggers the useless BMW voice control.

Is there any other way to deactivate this? I find it interesting that if you retrofit a different unit you need an FSC to enable voice control, yet I cannot deactivate it on my factory fit CCC. If it's possible to "erase" or somehow invalidate the FSC I'd be more than happy, as I find the factory voice control completely useless and therefore I have no reason to ever want to re-enable it.

I have an Apple CarPlay unit in my car which uses the voice control button to activate Siri, but the BMW voiceover is interfering with my use of Siri.

same. E60 here with retrofitted CIC and combox. I have Android now and want to use ONLY Google Assistant

Removed 620 from VO and wrote to the car. Also set SVS to "nicht_aktiv". I still get BMW assistant when pressing the button but now it seems to be the old one from 2004 (??). I guess there is still something somewhere else...

MIne is off now 100%. Short press Google Assistant, long press Google Maps

BMW E60 retrofitted CIC with Combox
- Removed 620 from VO (FA in German) and wrote to CAS
- SVS to "nicht-aktiv" in CIC
- SVS (only entry that included SVS) to "nicht_aktiv" in Media (combox)

Now there is silence from my stupid 2004/2011 BMW assistant :-)

MED_SVS_EIN_AUS is the option in Media

At last BMW Assistant is dead and single Siri is working via wheel button.
