You may alter the language via coding by looking for “sprache” parameters in Kombi and HU, but if I’m wrong and there are different options for US and UK, then I apologise.
English UK should now be set to Master and English US should be changed to English UK in HU and Kombi. The issue is that the UK English translation of some US-specific menu options, such Sirius radio, does not exist. And you can only go back through coding; you cannot have both on the menu. Will play for a few days and most likely code back US English.
It will say (N.T.A (US)), as TheUltimateDrivingManiac mentioned, but it is still completely operational.
You must actually spell out TORONTO if the location is TORONTO. The same is true with street numbers. You’ll want to say 2-5 rather than 25.
And with UK English, here is how the destination input menu appears. No translation is available, or “n.t.a.”
Oh! Does N.T.A stand for that? That makes more sense; I was stumped and came up with my own – Not Totally Aware – since I assumed the car wasn’t fully cognizant of what had happened.
Similar to this, many drivers are not fully cognizant of their surroundings.

Does anyone know whether a 2014 Canadian F30 can have its voice for navigation direction changed? I tried to find any options under settings, but all I can find are English or French. There is no option for US English or UK English.
It will work, but if you switch to another language, you can lose your English. Use search to change all instances of english us to english uk to stop it from happening.

Before ordering a 2019, I test-driven a 2018 M40i. In 2018, the navigation commands were spoken in a British accent, however in 2019, they are spoken in an American accent.
In 2019s, is it possible to configure the British accent without programming or hacking the car? I can’t seem to find a way to make it active.
In the vehicle settings menu, yes. We recently purchased an X3 M40i, and I was puzzled as to why the accent was British. I combed through and eventually discovered the language setting, which I adjusted to American English.
… However, it appears that this setting has no effect on how the navigation is accented. Since the description states that “This setting does not influence speech output,” I think that setting specifies the accent the car will use for voice recognition.
I found it strange that there were two accents, but it makes me believe that there are two different people in the car with me. lol
My wife and I were once riding in a taxi with a driver who was using a sat nav but who appeared to be having trouble hearing the very low-volume directions. I advised him to put the volume up at which time he admitted that his son had hacked the sat nav and the directions were laced with vulgar language. The remainder of the journey was amusing after he turned it up.
I just discovered that while normal conversation was produced with a female English accent, the directions I sent to my automobile using the Connect app were delivered in a female American accent. Although I’m very sure the English lady is not the queen, it’s strange that two different women dwell in my dash. SAHAJESH! lol
Because Almaretto’s coding options page for the G01 specifies “Alter NAV & Commands Voice” to female British, I assume I will have to hire someone to code the X3 to change the navigation commands to British.
The language setting affects speech recognition as a whole, not the Nav specifically. You will hear an American accent even if you have the language set to UK English. You’d think the low-cost, sub-$500 Navs would have figured that out. Even WAZE performs admirably, yet a car costing $50,000 to $60,000 cannot provide that fundamental capability.
hopz
Since the very beginning of the zumo, when I first got a GPS, I had loaded British/Aussie female voices. They appeal to me, and I enjoy the variety of pronunciations.
I particularly enjoy the Australian woman’s accent. Nearby, there is a street called Vindicator… Vin-Di-Ca-Tor. It is known as Vin-Dick-A-Tor in Australia. adore it
Customizing the voice was well worth the trouble. It was much simpler in the past than it is now. You can now contact Garmin tech support to get help with the comparatively easy procedure of changing voices. They can even send them to you via email.
Additionally, a variety of voices from sources other than Garmin are accessible. I adopted Ozzy Osbourne’s voice for a bit. I liked how it stammered. “Left at the roundabout,” it said.
How is the BMW voice control reset?
I have a 2010 November BMW 525D model car. When I first got the car, the voice control feature worked perfectly, but now when I press the button on the steering wheel, nothing happens. I checked the settings and discovered that the Voice Control language setting is disabled and that I am unable to enable it because it is in GREY SHADE. Could you please assist me in activating it?
What do you mean by IDrive ON first off? Second, which volume button—the one on the steering wheel or the one on top of the air conditioner—do I press? If you can, send me photographs or a video to explain.
2) Without placing your foot on the clutch or brake, press the START button.
3) Give everything a few seconds to start functioning (Idrive screen, radio, navigation, etc.).
4) For at least 30 seconds, turn the volume knob on the center console below the Idrive screen.
5) The Idrive screen will go blank after around 30 seconds and then display only BMW.
I tried pressing the knob for even a minute, but nothing happened after numerous attempts, friend.
I’m not aware of any changes being made to that feature on the 5 series. works with both the 7 and 3 Series.
After making numerous unsuccessful attempts, I went to the service center where they checked everything out and upgraded the software to something like version 12.05.500, and now voice control works just perfectly. My 525d is an F10, not an E90.

What is the BMW speaking mode?
I’ve been using Spotify with CarPlay on my BMW 330e for a few months now, and today, out of the blue, music playing switches to Speech Mode, which is essentially the mode CarPlay enters for calls and other stuff. This results in music being played at a very low volume with no acoustics. The experience is intolerable as a result! Since none of the other apps I tried, including Apple Music and a few others, had this problem, I am positive that this is a Spotify problem. I would hate to have to stop using Spotify due to this problem. Is there a fix for this? What I have attempted is as follows:
Therefore, please take into account the things I’ve already tried before making any suggestions to me. Any assistance would be much appreciated!
I almost switched to Apple Music for the 30 minutes I had to drive today because of this problem, even though I truly do not want to.
