Navi volume adjustment
The voice prompts on the navigation seem Lou's since getting back the car from the deLearship after some recent repairs.
I've searched for some mechanism to adjust the voice prompts, back can't find any.
Is it adjustable? If so. How?

I think you can reduce the volume while the navigation is speaking.

You can also hit mute when it's announcing directions...

...and I think you can choose "no audio fade out" so the radio volume doesn't dip when the navi makes announcements.

Good luck.

Thanks!
I was hoping NOT to be that guy who asked a question that was in the manual. I did look, though. Not sure how I missed it.

The key part is "during the announcement". This way it doesn't alter the volume of regular radio / music but changes the volume of navigation announcement only.

This is the biggest pain point point for me too. You can only adjust the volume of the nav voice while it is talking.

So, when you have NAVI running press the Comand button and it will open the lower edge menu tabs and it is automatically over RPT, i.e. REPEAT. Press the Comand button again and the NAVI talks the instructions and you can do the volume adjustment and you can just keep pushing that button as many times as you need to get the volume right. No need to wait for it.

would that mute the navi completely so it won't interrupt the music ?

seriously that's the only reason why I don't use the navi in my E class.
