Thread: SD Authentication

Hello Neil. It only says turn left or right

Hello Neil. Thank you for the files. I copied all of them in the voices menu and they were all identified by the unit, even the TTS ones had a label of them being able to say street names. The system would allow me to select each of them, but I tried them all and even though I didn't get any error messages, none of them "spoke".
Is there any other type of voice files that I could try? Would the ones created in the voice studio work?

Thanks again, I really appreciate your help

Hello Giomen. I tried that, and all the other suggestions in this post + some other experiments I did removing different files and placing the sw.unl file in root & garmin folders, but nothing worked. I was unable to have the unit work with a SD card different than the original it came with it would ask me for their password no matter what I did.
Thanks for all your help, I'll have to stick with that one card and hope it doesn't ever get damaged.

I am opened to test any other approach if any of you want me to, but for the moment I'm ok using the original card... Now I only need to find Mexican voices that work.

T H A N K Y O U A L L for your help and comments. I can't stress hard enough how much I appreciate all your advice

Can you look on your unit manual what model do you have in car?
Or look in unit in info or software version section.
If we know what you have in car we can help you more.

Hello lolypop000. The manual doesn't specify which model it is, I did go into the information menus of the unit and these are all the apparent versions I could find:

Software Version: 4.10
-----
WW AutoRoute OEM BaseMap NR 2.00
-----
Honda 2.00
Text 2.00 (Spanish)
Audio 2.30 (Spanish)
-----

Not sure that helps. I found ths picture of the unit in the Honda site, if you want to see how it looks like: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Thank you

As far as i'm aware, any voice files created in VoiceStudio will work in all Garmin Nuvis (except 3xx/6xx), Zumo 660 and all Aeras so compatibility is quite broad. I'd have some fun and record your own voice (or better still, Eva Longoria, Sofia Vergara, Selma Hayek..... if you can kidnap one of them, that is)....

Hello Neil, Thanks for your observations.... I'll see if I can get Eva Longoria to cooperate ;-)

I don't know how I would update the fw either; maybe through a DVD? I guess I may be stuck with that FW version, as it doesn't seem to be a known device :/

Thank you for being so helpful, and dedicating time to this. I zipped the Voice folder and attached it to this post. Hopefully you'll be able to see why they don't work; It'd be really cool if somehow the street names could be spoken.

Thanks again :D

xml file is inside unit in internal storage.
