Not from TomTom, Willy, but they're available elsewhere.

I didn't know it was possible to add voices to a Nav4?

It's not (except from TomTom's selections), but now I wonder which "Classic" the OP has? It's another one of those names that TT has 'reused' several times over the years. Based upon the request, I was assuming it was a Nav2. TomTom no longer shows the big list of Nav2 voices on their web site, but as noted, they're available elsewhere now.

@FarTilFire74
What are the first two characters of your device's serial number?
B1, XM, GV, GQ, GX (Nav2) (you can add the voices I pointed to)
or
G3, G4, G5, X5, X6, X7, X8 (Nav4) (you cannot add the voices I pointed to)

All of those models used 'Classic' in the name.

In his first message @FarTilFire74 says that he has just bought a new Tomtom GO classic so in my opinion it cannot be an old GPS

 

[canderson]

Ah - likely the case, then, that it's a Nav4 device.
Am guessing he may have owned one of the old Nav2 devices at some point or would be less likely to have asked about Yoda and Darth.

I found the voices I wanted and unzipped them. But I can't seem to put them on my new device. So maybe I must settle with that. Is there a way to manage files on the TomTom.

See post #5 above. If your serial number is in the 2nd group, you won't be able to add 3rd party voices to your unit.

Bugger it is X6 - thx for the help anyway!

Yeah, sorry. That's one of the more recent models to use the 'Classic' name.
Not sure why TT dropped the ability to add custom voices a while back, but there you have it. We used to have some real fun with these back in the day.

1) Where do I find the Serial Number, and
2) Does it work on the GO Exclusive?

If it is to add a personalized voice on GO Exclusive the answer is no.

The serial number is located on a barcode label on the outside of your GPS.

Found the serial - it starts with B4

No, it doesn't (there's no label at all), but I found it in "About" on the device

Damn. I've gotten so used to C-3PO directing me (on my old, old GO 6100)...

Flip it bottom side up and find yourself a magnifying glass.
