Telephone dialing volume -- save my marriage

Does anyone know how to lower the volume of the touchtones when one is dialing the phone using the dashboard keypad (the COMAND keypad)?

My wife, who had previously complained about the volume level, now views my inability to lower it as a sign my love is fading ("When we were dating you would have lowered the touchtone volume for me").

I have a 2003 E500 with navigation (one of the COMAND replacement vehicles).

I don't know about lowering the volume, but you can switch off the touchtone confirmation tones in the settings menu.

Just turn down the volume using the big round knob (at the COMAND unit) when you're dialing, that's all.

The same advice goes for adjusting the Nav volume. Just hit repeat and adjust the volume while the female announcer speaks.

Additional Marital advice is available to anyone so careless and foolish to seek such from this bunch.

Using a line from the noted Dr.Phil- When asked by the spouse what I think of the color of the new couch- I reply "It's lovely>" Period. End of discussion.

Those two words come second in our family to the most cherished- "You can drive".
