Arrow E90 Professional Nav voice change?

As title really - is it possible to change the voice on the Professional Nav in my E90 330D? Currently US-Female which I find slightly irritating!

Many thanks in advance!

On my E92 335d I'm sure I could choose between male and female and both were Brits. Take it you've (most of us like that smilie) or twiddled with your idrive?

Can't bloody remember which sub-menu it was in.

Dave, this is going to annoy me intensely now lol.......I'm sure there was a sub-menu re. settings for this type of thing. It'll be one of those things that I go to bed and the old grey matter maybe, just maybe rifles through the memory banks and brings forward the answer............or maybe not! Now I'm questioning whether I imagined it because the Porsche has this option.

There's an E90 325i M sport (LMB) next door but 4, I may have to go and ask him.

Oh Helen don't worry I can live with it, she's not (quite) that bad!!

I'd much rather have a UK-English female voice though.......never been that keen on American accents!

I'm not really annoyed per se, but you know when you can't remember something...........it is annoying.

The Porsche 'woman' is very polite and has the sort of voice that could read the BBC news - bit like mine really.

You probably don't listen to Scott Mills on R1 in the late afternoons, but the Posh lady form R4 reading out messages from listeners would be my kind of sat nav voice! Anyone else agree?

You know the voice, the news/shipping forecast lady.......

The voice was switched off before I left the dealer on handover. I'm not sure how to switch him/her back on let alone change the accent
