First Claim
1. A system for facilitating selection and activation of a voice control system by a vehicle operator, the system comprising:
- a switch selectively switchable between a first switch position (P1) and a second switch position (P2) and arranged to emit a signal when switched between the switch positions (P1, P2);
a vehicle voice control system;
communication means; and
a processing unit arranged to interpret the signal and, based on the interpretation of the signal, perform a selection of one of the vehicle voice control system or a voice control system of an external communication device to be activated, and communicate, via the communication means, an activation signal to the voice control system selected;
wherein one of the vehicle voice control system and the voice control system of the external communication device is arranged to be activated when the switch is brought to the second switch position (P2) during less than a predefined time limit (TL), and that the other one of the vehicle voice control system and the voice control system of the external communication device is arranged to be activated when the switch is brought to the second switch position (P2) during at least the predefined time limit (TL).
