Telephone Language has turned french?? WTF?

Post by Lloydey » Sat Jul 04, 2015 7:48 pm

My system language is all in English but when I go into the phone section all of the options are in French? I cannot find any option to change the language and don't quite understand why only 1 area would be in a different language :cry:

Any ideas how to sort??

Cheers.

Sounds to me that you have put in an aftermarket DVD for the satnav, is that correct?

It is a known issue with those, something to do with the amendments for speed cameras. If you switch the warnings on, it is English. Switch them off, it turns the system French.
