How to Activate a 2nd Remote
I too love the voice activation on the 885T, and I also lost the remote when moving it to another car. Unfortunately, no instructions on how to activate the 2nd remote were included in the package. In regards to S. Jamieson's 1 star review, I did a quick search on Garmin's website and found out how to activate the remote:

To activate a second ASR remote with your 8xx unit:

1. Power the device on
2. Touch Tool
3. Touch Settings
4. Touch System
5. Touch the down arrow
6. Touch Add or Change next to Remote
7. Touch Activate New Remote
8. Press a button on the ASR remote
9. Touch Ok
10. Touch and hold the Back button to return to the main menu

The instructions above worked like a charm.

My only complaint is the inability to customize the main map screen with a compass, and miles to destination. If anyone knows how to do that, please share!

Works if it's not a lemon, but DOA is possible
Received one of the Garmin speech recognition remotes as part of the Garmin 885 package. Immediately used it in a rental car in a trip to Dallas. Worked perfectly. Unfortunately, I left the remote on the steering wheel in the rental car,and it never resurfaced. Bought another one from Garmin (through Amazon). This one didn't work at all. No indication of any kind that it was alive. Tried changing the battery, but that didn't help. Unfortunately, again, I didn't test the new one immediately and did not save the packaging, so I have no idea whether I'll be able to exchange. So, the moral is.... test it as soon as you get it, and be prepared for it to be DOA.

Garmin speech recognition remote
I love this remote since it enables me to be hands free. It is good at recognizing what you are telling it. The main problem is remembering to take it out when you use it in another car. I left my first one in a rental car that, of coarse was not turned in. I then left my new one in my husbands car. It is easy to forget! I definitely recommend this product.
