Bluetooth voice reprogram?

I finally picked up Basil last week. I immediately left town for a few days, so I haven't been able to play with him much .

While the MA was helping me set up the profiles, he took me through the Bluetooth program. A slight disappointment was that the voice that the car uses to talk you through the process is a male with an American accent. I want Miss Moneypenny!! And I want I want her to call me "James."

Anyone have any idea whether it is possible to reprogram the voice? There is a "language" setting somewhere in the computer in the car, but I don't know if just affects the readouts or the voice, as well...

Bondo, James Bondo

The help voice is male and the NAV voice is female. I have seen some posts of hacks to the system that can change the voice but I'd be a little reluctant to try them myself. The language setting that I saw was just to change it between English, French, and Spanish.

Well, if he can't be James Bond, perhaps he could settle for Inspector Clouseau.

That would be cool! Could I program it to ask:

"Daz yoor dahg baht?"
