Help! Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Help! I got in my MCS today, and the nav system and on-board computer information is written in German...and I can no longer hear a voice guiding me when GPS is on. Any ideas?

Dunno, I'm new to this, but if you can find a prompt called "Einstellugen," it might then show your "sprache," after which you might find "English," "Englisch," or "UK."

Go to 'Settings' (lower left hand side) (possibly Einstellungen)

Third one down should be 'Languages' (possibly Sprache)

Viel glueck! (good luck) :smile:

I tried going to settings and then to languages. All three slots have a "D" for Deutsch...so I think that is my only option currently?

Ok, usually I take no delight in correcting people, but your typo made me laugh out loud: "einstellugen" would be "install lies", as in "untruths". I find this particularly amusing since almost every manual I've ever read references some menu or part of a product that simply does not exist.

"Einstellungen" would have served you better.
