Enable features in your nuvi 12xx, 13xx and 14xx - JCV, LA, TTS

How do I enable TTS in Nuvi 1100 hwid 971. My main problem is to get the vpm file for Jill american english voice. I have the gcd for 1.8 and 2.9 versions of Jill tts voice but I am not able to extract the vpm file. I have tried removing the first 60 bytes using hex editor and saving as vpm file but ttsvoice editor says invalid file.

JCV and lane assist are working. Thanks to wonderful contributers.

Use RGN_Tool to extract the file and rename it to English_American_Jill.vpm

Thanks a lot. It worked perfectly. Copied English_American_Jill.vpm to voices folder. Restarted Garmin and It showed up in tools->settings->language menu.

Popotnik has posted a method of doing this modification by using SD Card.

Might be useful if you do not wish to use pre-boot mode.

Here are files for 12xx series and 13xx/14xx to update via SD card Logo.
Instructions are in the package.

13xx/14xx non-MTK (0972 )logo via SD [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

12xx non-MTK (0971) logo via SD [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

It works by flashing region 16 directly with the logo.bin using the xrgn method.

thank you for this link. I flashed my Garmin 1300 . now I can get the LA but I could not get the JV.
Is there away to activate this feature.

quick question, I just flashed v5.8 as indicated here with updater(folowed instructions exactly), everything went ok, I got the done message, pressed OK, but I see no difference in GPS, no limit indicator, I have a nuvi 1200, put the original update.gcd back as well after finished.
I used the status screen method and not the preboot.

is there anyway to tell if the upload was really successful?
thanks

BTW: when run update, choose USB, it told me the version I tried to update was same, I told to overwrite, and everything went fine till completion

@manb62

In system folder in folder jcv you must add jcv file for CN that you have installed.
If you use SD card you can add jcv file in SD card in folder Garmin/JCV/your jcv file.

@neptuno0

Make simulation of route on different street or in city.

thanks, so, it won't work unless I have a jvc file? too bad, I'm using custom maps since I'm in dominican republic, so I guess i'll never get the speed indication

I thought that was separated from the 3d and jvc info

Extended Features i.e. Lane Assist, Junction View and Speed Limit work with City Navigator Maps.
To check if your device supports these functions do this
Press Battery Icon for +- 10 seconds
Press Next
Press Start Test
Press More
In the inventory screen you should see a line like the line below.
Splash D1340-50 2.00 nuvi narrow+wide,TTS,TRF,LA,J Pass
If you get this line your flash was successful. If it differs the flash was not successful.
Download a Small City Navigator unlocked img and corresponding JCV file to test in simulator mode.
