LOL! I think she sounds really luke-warm, 40ish, and seems to have a bit of an attitude, especially when she says "are you sure?"...

Sounds like the woman for me! I might need to get her number.

Seriously, does anyone know if the male/female voice is a dealer-programmable option?

MY '05 has the standard bluetooth VA with the male voice that only works for phone functions... and you're right - he is an idiot. Always saying he's sorry, and failing to understand phonebook commands!! (He does OK with dialing stored numbers, and dialing by number, but whenever I try to add a new number to my directory, it often times takes him 5+ trys to even understand the "Add Name" command... )
Does that optional VA module cover phone functions too? If so, is it possible to just remove the stock male-voice VA? I was thinking about getting one so that I could have the Nav/notebook functions, but I had heard about the male / female VA's fighting before...

Don't know about the programming, but the female seems to understand commands very well. I can't imagine that really has anything to do with the voice though...

When my '05 telephone module went dead (symptom: red light on top right of NAV, instead of green), my service tech said the new one they shipped him was a male. And, I needed to put the loopback adapter back on my module if I didn't want the new male to interject and interrupt (typical) with the female responses. I think it's kind of comical at the moment. I'm sure it will wear off and I'll re-plug the loopback wire I removed when I installed my NAV voice activation.

Do they ever have a conversation all on their own?? I could just imagine it...

"Say a command"
"Sorry?"
"Repeat the command"
"Sorry?"
"System off"

My '05 has a man for the BT phone functions, and a (British) woman for NAV.
