Car voice for blue tooth and GPS?

panzer948 · 09-22-2006, 12:47 PM

Hi,

Was checking out the new 335 at the dealer yesterday and he showed me how the bluetooth worked. Very nice verbal prompts came from the car in a pleasant male voice. Since I also want I-drive, I wanted to see how that worked. They didn't have an I-drive 335 to show me, so he took me to a 330 I-drive. The voice for the GPS was a nice female voice. So... my question is can you control which voice for each unit, or do they each have different voices (bluetooth and GPS). WOuld make more sense to me that they were the same voice (the car's overall voice) to give the car some personality

Of course I would prefer that to be female!

I don't think there's anyway to change this. To my knowledge, verbal response on Bluetooth is always the male voice, and verbal response on navigation is always the female voice.

Good luck on your purchase decision!

Oh well, thanks for the input.

When do you get a voice response on bluetooth, i have never heard one. Surely when you get in the car, it pairs to your phone and then the phone works as normal through the car controls.

It pairs but the voice command is handled through BMW's system.
