Changing the Nav Voices

[Sehoner]

I bought an 08 Xterra with a previously installed AVIC-F900BT.

 

I've run the gambit of issues this unit seems to have and have fixed them as they come up - so far.

 

 I am running the Hybrid 4.01 SW update mod, Difaltia 3.6 mod, and IGO 8.3 2016 Q3 mod map packs for the west coast.

 

After a bit of research and trial and error I have successfully swapped Samantha's TTS (US) voice for Serena's TTS (UK) voice and it is more pleasant.

 

However, I am unable to swap from Jason (US) to Serena (UK) in the regular voice prompt. I have added LANG_ENG_UK_F1.ZIP  to the LANGUAGE folder and the associated voice ZIP to the VOICE folder. It took a minute for the system to recognize Serena TTS, but it does not seem to recognize the other voice package for the UK.

 

 I have "uncommented" on different occasions the following script lines:

";voice_key="Eng_uk_f1"           ;(EU Female) F500, F700, F900, F90"

";voice_key="Eng_us_m1"           ;(US Male) F500, F700, F900, F90"

 

 With no success. It always, and only reads Jason ENG (US) as one of the defaults and does not recognize the (UK) pack as an option.

 

 Do you think I need to "uncomment" one of these?

(Possibly change this to UK instead of US?)

 

Thoughts?
