Adding Navigation System Voice Files
How do I add extras and voices to the Garmin device that is part of my new 2011 Dodge Durango Media Center 730N? My manual states to obtain extras online from www.garmin.com/extras but there is no reference to loading or installing them.
Also, the Jack and Jill default voices are very poor in sound quality. How do I load an acceptable voice quality file such as those offered by Garmin and third party vendors?
Thanks,
Robert Haden

I went through all 165 pages of the 730N users manual and there isn't anything in there about changing voices.
I would suggest giving a call to Dodge for assistance:

My guess is it will be input from CD/DVD/USB thumb drive then saved to the hard drive. Once you are at the right loading screen and accessing the correct place in the root directory for the voices, you can surf out to the HD to load the voice files.
From the manual, that thing does a lot of stuff. None of which looks overly simple. Since they are coming out with a new stereo setup either in the 2012 or 2013 setup, let's hope it is more user friendly.
