Hi @Glen_2Bitz
Welcome to the community!
'Susan' voice you are referring to is an English Computer voice for the Nav2 devices.
We cannot add these voices as we do for the Nav3 and the newer models. Ideally, these are offered as updates under voices in TomTom HOME-

Hi Vikram, thank you for your help. I installed both Simon and Susan and I'm making a complete backup of the installation. I'll never make the mistake of not having a backup for this unit. Sorry for the venting, Glen0

Hi Geln
If you have the files for the voice and if you can attach them over here, in one of your comments it would be of great help.
Not just for @TomtomXXL540S but some of the other users looking for it.
Unfortunately for the Nav2 devices, we cannot activate voices remotely
Thank you, Vikram

This works for me....
I can install all the updates that Tomtom allows for my EOL NAV2 Start device (Including Voices)....
Note... Using this option you will be running a modified version 2_9_91_411 that doesn't call for the latest problematic update to be installed
Firstly... Make a PC Filer copy of your 'Tomtom' Drive... To your PC (Not a Backup using Tomtom Home)
2nd... Backup any Maps you have in Tomtom Home... To your PC....
Modify Tomtom Home to use older version of Tomtom Home... (Mabe useful for End of Life Tomtom Devices with No further map or other updates)
(1)… Uninstall Tomtom Home
(2)… Download last "good" version 2_9_91_411 from.... http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/application/releases/v2_9_91_411_win.exe
(3)… Install it without running....
i.e... uncheck the 'Run Home' tick box when installation completes
(4)... Using Windows Explorer, navigate to
C:\Program Files\Tomtom HOME 2\xul (32 bit Windows)
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\TomTom HOME 2\xul (64 bit Windows)
and find application.ini file
(5)… Edit application.ini file (you might need admin privileges) and modify "Version=2.9.91.411" to "Version=2.99.99.999"
(6)… Run Tomtom Home. It will believe to be running the latest version 2.99.99.999 and therefore not pull the update
