radio mute while nav is talking?

Pardon if this has been addressed, but is there a setting where the radio volume decreases automatically when the nav is talking? In my Infiniti, the radio volume automatically decreases and the ventilation fan also goes to minimum so you can hear easier. Thx.

And while its in that attachment, it drove me crazy trying to figure out how to adjust the volume. Do it while its chatting at you with steering wheel. Kinda hard to remember until you need it.

What would be your suggestion to make it easier to remember? I assume you are not proposing different volume knobs for all different audio sources (and even there it would be difficult to adjust the volume, before the actual source is "talking"). Isn't it easy to remember that "you are tuning the audio level that you are listening"?

It was late. What I meant was it was easier to remember after needing to adjust and going back to the book. I spent an hour trying to find it and when I did I had an aha moment. It works just like phone volume and everything else.

Go to MBUSA.com and look under Owners/Owner's Manuals/2010 Manuals

Both the Owner's Manual and the COMAND Manual are there in Pdf form..

The 2010 manuals cover the 2011 W212's.

Thanks,Bud,I've tracked one down (with help!).I managed to get the main manual from the MB website but couldn't,for the life of me,find the Comand manual.I guess that's more proof that Bill Gates needn't fear my computer skills!
