Navigation Guidance Sound
Hi
I have hard time hearing the Navigation Guidance when the music is playing. I have always thought the music would stop when there is a sound guidance. anyway, is there a way to increase the sound level? Please don't say turn up the volume. Because that will also turn up the volume of the music, too. Thanks in advance. |

Turn up the volume ... WHILE the guidance voice is saying something, that's the point!
Not sure if setting that guidance voice volume also works while music is playing, so better try it with the audio system muted.

My phone Navigation will mute the music when the guidance voice is giving direction. But BMW navi doens't do that. So can we at least adjust the guidance voice without adjust the volume of the music? Someone, please help. 96 views and no one has answers to this?? Last edited by yxc145; 11-01-2011 at 09:44 AM.. |

My cars with NAV including the F10 mute the front speakers when giving guidance. As others said, turning up the volume while giving guidance should do it. Doing so does NOT turn up the music volume for me.

1. You don't know when the guidance is going to "say" something. It may be only a short reaction time, but you may have missed something. 2. You have to Mute Music-- Turn up the volume, Turn down the volume, Unmute music. That's just bad. What if someone forget to turn down the volume before unmuting, and the music is booming loud and totally surprise the driver and cause an accident? Very bad design....... ok, Where is the Mute bottom? Is it just the bottom on the radio? or it is on the steering wheel somewhere? |

Try this, pause the music yourself, then go to the Nav menu and mute the guidance, then un-mute it. As soon as you un-mute it the system will give you a guidance, at this time turn your volume knob to raise the volume of your nav guidance while the system is speaking.
Sorry for any tipos.

just remembered there's another surefire way. go into service menu under settings by holding up for 10 sec, 3 click right, 3 click left, 1 right 1 left 1 right and center click. scroll to bottom in settings and in there you'll find nav menu, and there you can test guidance voice, and when you change volume while guidance voice is constantly playing. if you are not sure about going into service mode, google it and you'll find lots of info.

Yeah but for me, that still is a problem with the system... The older system automatically muted the sound system when a direction was being given... Now I have to turn it up loud enough so that it can be heard above the music... And I do like to pump my tunes from time to time... especially with the sunroof open... I think they need to revert back to muting...
