Hi

Hope it’s not just my Sat Nav woman that has a real problem with fours.

For example, instead of saying A four four nine, I get four fer nine?!

Sometimes it’s the first four becoming a “fer”

Where on earth do they get the linguistics from?!

Same on mine. It's become a family joke. Do they call this a meme nowadays?
Cheers,

I downloaded a different regional dialect from the Volvo support site. I'm currently using a soft Scottish female accent. Very soothing.

The solution to this problem is to change the language setting of the Sensus Navigation to Bulgarian. Subsequently the fours (actually, the четири) are pronounced correctly. I think.

Hi,
Just joined, vehicle due March.
Currently have an Audi which also cannot say fours correctly. The good lady and I fell about on the test drive when the XC40 tried to say A449!
An earlier post mentioned downloading a regional dialect but I can't see where to do that on the support site, can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks,
Stanno
