With my Bluetec you just adjust the main volume knob (don't know if the wheel control works) *as* the navigation lady is speaking.I'll wager that the same is true with your car.

Yep, I second that. I have only been able to adjust her volume only when she's in the act of speaking otherwise I'm just adjusting the music volume. I also just do it with the volume scroll wheel thingy on the right side of the console/center knob.

I was similarly stumped with the volume on my 04 XJ8. I discovered that the volume control on the steering wheel controls both the sound system and the Nav. But you can only control the Nav when the voice is actually speaking (or trying to). If the volume is turned all the way down for the Nav, you might never figure out how to activate it. The easiest way to do it is to touch the small speaker icon in the lower right corner of the Nav screen. This gives you audio directions "on command". While this audio is playing (or trying to), simply adjust the volume on the steering wheel. If you try to adjust the volume at any other time, you are simply turning your sound system up or down. As I said, this is how it works on the XJ. It might be different on the S type. My wife has a 2000 S but no Nav system.

an easy way to do it is to press the "repeat last command" option so she will start talking and then you can easily adjust it

That will increases the lady's voice.

volume of the music increases and not the navigation lady's voice.

I wonder if you understood the suggestions right. You have to adjust audio volume while the navigation announcement is spoken. Perhaps you did not have any previous announcement or you were too slow but obviously you were not tuning the navi volume if the music level got raised.

Try to make the navigation talk long and then press the repeat button and immediately when she starts talking, tune volume. I've never heard of a car that would have an issue with this feature (I mean being somehow broken).

Does the volume increases much louder or slightly? Also once set to desired level will it stay there until someone changes it or defaults to lower volume each time navigation is turn on and off?

Unless,perhaps,you disconnect the battery the volume will stay at the set level until you,the user,change it via the method described above.I can't recall how "sensitive" the volume knob is but I'd guess it would be similar to its sensitivity when adjusting the radio volume.

It's really a simple process...so easy that even *I* can do it!

I'm definitely trying to figure this out, my lady screams at me. It's simply too loud, to the point where it's annoying.

Try adjusting the radio's volume knob *as* the nav lady is speaking.That should work with either a Benz or a BMW (not sure what you're driving now).
