Please note that you must take a back up of your SD / Memory CARD before installing any updates on your device. If you want install tomtom mobile 5 to tomtom mobile 6, make sure you don’t over write on other file. If you just copy them without over write then it is safe to do so and you will lose nothing if the update did not work. In my mind if you put some tomtom mobile 5 voices to tomtom mobile 6, then it should work without any problem. The following are some links which will help you to some free voices for your tomtom.
