Anyone give a name to the HFL - NAV ?

Has anyone else personified the voice from the HFL or Nav system? If so, what name did you choose and why?

My sister has a TSX, uses the male voice and calls him Bob. I've got the TL, use the female voice ( my masculinity is well intact ) and I've chosen Sally. I came up with that while listening to "Joe Cool" from Charlie Brown and Peanuts. If the name of the song isn't familiar the tune itself certainly is if you've ever watched on of the shows. Yeah, that's the one, now stop singing.

It's pretty cool having a real name for it. It's easier to say things like "Let's ask Bob"
instead of " I'll check the nav system for directions".

You can change the voice on the NAV?

I can. MY 2006. I'm not too familiar with earlier models, maybe they can't. Go to Setup: -->
either screen 1 or 2. I'm not sure which option it is however there aren't too many of them to choose from.

I find that if you play around with it long enough something usually happens and it brings a smile to your face. Works for the nav too.

It can be changed to use male or a female voice using the "Setup" button below the touch screen. Otherwise, I'm not aware of any hacks to modify the tone, pitch etc. of the voices themselves.
Both my wife and I prefer the female voice, but I haven't named the car or the Navi since I'm bad at remembering names...

I wish we can change the voices and mod it to someone different. Anyone have an idea?

If you perform a search for "cebin," you will find threads related to modifying the navi/HFL system. Theoretically, the the cebin program will allow you to change certain audio files. Some computer literacy required.

Otherwise, this thread is a
