Default Nav voice hack?

I was in my buddies new Merc C300 today and we were playing with his navy which also has a female voice. We both as IT guys came up with the conclusion that there should be a hack to change the voice. We wanted to replace the voice with a very hot and sexy ladies voice and add various special Easter Egg's to impress our friends with (based on key word responses). I won’t type those details because I could get in trouble with language. Anyone tried this

If you recall the original Star Trek where the Enterprise gets thrown back to Earth in the year 1960. Kirk beams aboard a jet fighter pilot and they go in his "office" to debrief him and Kirks computer is talking to him Sexy. I want my nav to do that (if anything to **** my wife off). I'd like it to be a bit naughtier to certain key words


Sounds like fun to me

LMAO...

its probably on the DVD/CD so you would have to make a new one and upload this inplace of what is on there. Im sure you could do this...Its your area of expertise!

This looks like a Group Buy!

The OEM nav only has -one- voice option?

On my Garmin there's like 20 (diff. languages mostly) but we changed ours to English-UK so we now get a chick with a British accent... much cuter

Funny.

I have medical computer programs where you can choose a male or female voice, and even this androgenous voice just by the name of "Sam"...

I don’t need to change. The way the voice nags, it already sounds like my wife.

Garmin: $200
lexus: $2,600

Garmin: dozens of voices
Lexus: 3 voices

Garmin: dozens of text languages
Lexus: 3 text languages

Garmin: says street names
Lexus: says names of some major highways

Garmin: can be used 100% of the time
Lexus: can only be used while stopped

OK, the lexus is integrated and has a bigger screen and backup camera, but for 10 times the price you think lexus could have thrown in a little more. the fact that i cant use it while driving (nor can a passenger) is what bothers me the most.
