| NAV volume
Is there a way to crank the volume for the audio in the NAV system. The manual just addresses setting the fade out for the radio. I have the radio completely faded out when NAV interupts, but it still seems low and I am concerned that wind noise this summer will completely drown her out. Any cheats out there? |

YES When the navigator is speaking and only when she is speaking can you adjust the volume of the navigation. So as soon as she begins to say "take a right in 300 feet" start cranking the volume. |

Thanks Doc. That does appear to work, but I was hoping for a more permanent solution. |

It is permanent so to speak. It will stay at whatever volume it was left at. I have put it loud in the past and forgot and OMG when it comes on I have jumped out of the seat. Hipe this helps. |

^^^ Well, I wish. I have to reset the NAV volume every single time I use it. Because I don't want to hear her at all, I just want the visual cues. Almost more trouble than it's worth. Usually I just use the maps. |

Interesting. In my CLS the volume is saved. I have not tried it yet in the G500 though. |

Glad it worked. Really like the new avatar. Are you a firefighter? Paramedic? I learn something new about the car almost every day. |

Extremely accurate for the most part. Picks up 7-8 sats on average. Directions are dead on. POI appear up to date. Got me through the I95 George Washington Bridge interchange (very difficult task). |
