Text-to-speech

Does anybody know if 1 series Navigation is any different from the 3 series (definitely looks different)? I am particularly interested in Text-to-speech feature. Thanks.

There is no text to speech capabilities in the 1er iDrive system. l assume you are talking about for SMS and Email reading...

No Text-to-Speech for navigation functions. It will pronounce numeric route numbers ("Turn right to get on I.. Ninety... Five... North"), but not street names.

If you get Assist, you get voice control for navigation, which allows you to enter destinations by voice, and it will confirm by attempting to "pronounce" the names of the towns, streets, etc. But that's the only time the system will pronounce street names; it doesn't do it during guidance.

Thanks, that was helpful. :thumbup: This just makes me wondering why BMW insists on staying technologically behind even when introducing new vehicles...:iono:

My 325i has assist without idrive. I can do some voice control to operate the bluetooth, such as "dial name", "dial number", etc.
