Voice control is a guy. But Nav system is female, she always tells me to go this and that direction, but I never follow. Just like real life...

My voice control lady speaks german, which is only naturual since i bought the car in Germany.
Does anybody know how to get the VC-lady to speak and understand english. Is it an option anywhere in the menus (I've only managed to change the nav-lady to english), or is it something that can be done when you flash a new CIP version?
Any suggestions

My Ride: 2006 550i Sport Package, Cold Weather Package, Premium Sound Package, Comfort Access, Xenon Headlights, Adaptive Headlight Control, Navigation System, Steptronic Transmission. Silver Gray Metallic with Gray Leather. Added Red rear reflectors. Swapped stock Style 124 wheels and Bridgestone run-flat tires for BMW Style 125 5-Double Spoke wheels, 8" x 19" front, 9.5" x 19" rear with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, 245/40YR-19 front and 275/30YR-19 rear.
I have just begun using Voice Command on my 550i. It is very useful, although, it does not always understand what I am asking for. My grandson enjoys asking for "Perspective" and also gets a kick out of the erroneous results of some requests. If I can get it to understand me, it will significantly reduce the amount of iDrive knob actions required.

I retrofitted the voice control system (I thought it was included in the Pro Nav option 
)
It's so amazing ! The system understands sooooo much voice commands ! Even the name of the radio stations ! And a lot of commands are faster than with i drive selection. I really enjoy it !
And you ?
