Well, with my iDrive, I've got both male and female voices in my car... I've already named my navigation voice "Nancy" (FYI, the GPS in my previous car was named "Betty")...

I still haven't picked out a name for my the male voice yet... I need a real dumb sounding name though... 'cause about 1/2 the time I give it a voice command, it replies with something TOTALLY different... (for example, I'd command "satellite radio on" and he will switch to the phone screen and say "would you like to call.... John Doe?" -- otherwise, he'll switch to the climate control vents)...

Actaually, the voice commands tend to work pretty accuratly when I'm in my car alone... but when I try to show off the features to friends in the car, that's when it screws up... I think that the car is just trying to make a fool out of me in front of my friends... it's nice to see that he has a sense of humor....
