Nav voice GB, VR voice USA after upgrade

Fantastic site, very helpful, I have found my way here via m5board.com.
I have a 2002 E39 M5 and have upgraded from the Mk3 nav to a Mk4 DVD nav purchased from the USA.
Using the comprehensive archives and resources on this site, I have successfully changed the splash screen, and the voice file names from usa to GB, and have the GB voice back now for navigation directions.
However, I am still plagued by the american wench when receiving replies to voice commands for the telephone. Prior to the mk 4 upgrade, I had the same GB female voice for navigation and voice recognition commands.
Is there another file that I need to modify somewhere?
Thanks guys.
Barney

question has been answered by guru KiwiJochen. It seems the voices for the phone module are separate to the nav, and it chooses the language based upon the nav coding. So because my nav is USA code, the phone uses the USA voice, and not the GB voice that I have fooled the nav into using. A quick call to my BMW SA and he has graciously offered to code the unit for me.

as others have probably experienced, this sort of thing is beyond BMW. Dealer was unable to do it, their regional settings don't allow recoding.
Navcoder here I come.
Thanks Jochen.
