Default Chance NAV guidance to UK English?

Any way to change the nav guidance to a UK accent on the A7?

Yes, this has been done. You just inject 8 ounces of blood pudding into the dvd slot. Then again, you might just laugh and take this post completely unseriously as it was meant to be. I have no idea.

I'm truly sorry, I find this to be a humorous thread. Can I have a Texas drawl please?

I'm not sure anymore. You used to be able to put some barbecue in the cigarette lighter but most cars no longer have them. BBQ in the dvd spins it way too fast and has the opposite effect. You could try the heated seats but it could get messy.

Seriously though, Navtech is an Amercun company and they have the market share. I think they may only quasi compete with TomTom. I would assume they are about sales and not so much with accents. But I do agree it should be this way in every market they sell. Of course Audi could pay a premium for this I suppose. At the end of the day though I hope you still understand the exit at the round-a-bout.

Actually, NavTeq was an American provider of geo map data and a major provider of base electronic navigable maps. The company was acquired by Nokia, a Finnish based company, in 2007/2008, and fully merged into Nokia in 2011 to form part of the Here business unit. Last Dec, Here was sold by Nokia to...get ready for it... Audi, BMW and Daimler/Mercedes.
So, NavTeq was an American, Finnish and now is a German owned company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navteq You are 100% correct so maybe a change may come.
