S trim 2020 with rear mics?

[Djaymasa]

I’m confused on my new purchased telluride. I see that the 2020s only have driver talk if you have Ex or Sx trim. But I have the S and still have the mics in the headliner in the rear. So what does this actually mean? I cannot find anywhere to turn on driver talk, so I’d figure it’s not there, but what’s the purpose of the mics then???

There are no microphones in the rear on any trim. That’s not how driver talk works… it’s one way only (driver’s voice amplified to the rear speakers).

I’m willing to bet you are looking at the three ultrasonic sensors for the rear occupant alert. Some people also confuse them with lights.

IMO driver talk is a silly feature. I’ve used it maybe twice for a laugh and that’s it.
