Why don't they use a sexy feminine voice.
In Italy we have, Sat Nav Pro. a feminine voice. I can't say sexy but it is surely a woman.

I've seen once a documentary about this. It cannot be sexy said BMW officials. It needs to be pleasant and authoritative. If it's too sexy or too cold it's not good.

Yeah my wifes 03 325xi has a female voice. She babysits a friends kids and the kids think this lady is in her dashboard. This lady just lives in her dash!! Cracks me up. What do these kids think that people live inside TV's too??


I think BMW should offer optional voices on their cars. Ill take the Monaco Blue ,Gray Interior and the Scarlett Johansenn sexy voice upgrade.

My iDrive menus and Nav commands are in english but the voice activation for the phone is in french (she sounds sexy at least) and only understand french commands. Not just that, unless I do my famous Charles Aznavour impression she refuses to understand me. It's a bit like living in Paris. Cantonese is mo mun tai, but she can't manage that either.

Mines a girl - but she doesn't take any sh*t.

If you try any funny business she rather crossly says - sorry!

Maybe we can download celeberity's voices in the future... that will be cool.

Like how we download songs on cell phone.
