Navigation voice

dhirm5 · 10-26-2013, 11:01 AM

How do you guys feel about the navigation voice in your M5s? In my '14, the english voice is very annoying - she speaks with an almost patronizing inflection. It's surprisingly irritating.

Is there a way to change these? I'd strongly prefer her to speak with a British accent.

Fixed! Coded in the UK voice and it works great. MUCH better.

What head unit do you have in your car (what car is it btw): CIC or NBT?

Mine is a '14 so it's NBT. Works on both, with slightly different approaches. With NBT you need to change things as shown in this thread:

Yes there is a MASTER LANGUAGE and also a DEFAULT LANGUAGE as well. I didn't have to change the master to get the UK to work, but I went ahead and changed it just now. Under the default lang tab it didn't list English or UK. Did you get my PM on the Brake force display? I'd like to get the brake lights in the trunk lid to light up anytime the brakes are pressed. Also I'm looking at the no dazzle high beam assistant. Looks like the two TMS modules in the LCI have all the data for the LED headlights.

Thanks!

With CIC it's as in the posts linked above.
