Default Can I change the voice on my SYNC?

Anyone know if we can change the voice on the SYNC system? The Bitch is starting to remind me of my ex-wife when she doesn't understand what I want it to do.

Thumbs down Sync Voice

I called Ford and spoke to a Sync technician and he told me the voice could not be changed. I feel the same as you....I can't stand her voice.

There's a way to go to advanced mode... I think you hit the sync button and say something like "interaction mode advanced." This turns off most of the sync prompts and repeats.

I did this a while back after I felt comfortable using it... now when I hit the voice command button on the steering wheel it says what mode its in only (like phone or usb2). Then I say play artist Pearl Jam and it just plays it. No longer do I get the repeats. However, I think it still repeats who I'm calling.

I wish there was a way to change the voice - easy enough to do on $200 Garmins, why not on this system? However, I think the voice sounds very similar to the "iphone4 vs htc evo" youtube video, which cracks me up.

Maybe a future sync software update would add voices?

I am all for this to. X2 on "Australian Chick" The standard voice on sync sounds like my ex, whom I hate with a passion. In fact I beleive that is the reason why I rarely use sync

If you "double tap" the media button it bypasses the voice and goes straight to " listen" mode.
