Press the mute on your steering control right when the navigation voice is speaking. This way only navigation voice prompt is muted with no effect on music. It will stay muted for your current trip.

Hhhmmm, I was just turning it down, but even then it still shuts down the radio when it's speaking... on mute will it still turn down the radio ?

No, the radio will not be effected unless you mute when no audible navigation instructions are being given.

On my 2011 E350 I can only change the volume on the navigation while directions are given i.e.; she is talking. If it effects the radio you can readjust radio volume anytime navi is not giving instructions.

I think you can also use the voice command 'mute route guidance' or something like that. That way you don't have to catch it when the announcements occur.

EDIT: checked and the phrase listed when you press the voice button is 'guidance instructions on/off'. If you give the off command you get a pop up that says it has been muted.
