Go to the Garmin home page then click on extras then services. Scroll down to Garmin Garage & you can download what vehicles you want or the whole bundle. I tried changing the voice but apparently it is not compatible with XT. The vehicles are.

Make sure you use V1.5. It is compatible with city navigator 2009. If you have upgraded to WM6.1 or activated your internal GPS you will have the option to use, internal, bluetooth or wired GPS receiver.

Thankyou for that info, I just ordered XT from Amazon.

I was able to download the vehicle bundles but the instructions to pick one didn't help. When I click on Map, there was no option to select the vehicle. Any help would be appreciated.

Go ito your xt on your device. After you click the legal (I agree) page, you will come to the home page; click on tools, then settings, then map. You should see vehicles at the bottom of that page before scrolling. Click on it & you should see your vehicles if you downloaded them correctly.

I don't have tools then settings; I have tools or settings. Under settings I have Map, and lots of choices but no vehicles. Apparently i did not download them (or install) correctly. How'd you do it?

wow, I didn't realize there was another upgrade. Went ahead and installed it. Still having problems; I've downloaded and extracted the vehicles to the Garmin\vehicle folder. Not sure what the instructions mean about the icon in the system tray; I'm not seeing that.

Ok, first things first. What version of XT do you have? If it is the latest version, then you should have on your start screen, where to, view map, and 3 icons on the right for weather tools and exit. If you click on tools that is where you will find settings then map then see vehicles. If not then maybe you have an older version.

As far as the vehicles in your system tray, when you download them you should be able to copy them into an already existing vehicle folder that is in your Garmin folder on your device. You will have to explore threw active sync to find it.

I do not think XT is compatible with adding voices. I downloaded the Dr. Death or whatever it was called to the voices folder on my device but it did not show up in the voice list on the change voice option. Only the pre-loaded ones did.
