Navigation Volume

[marjohn]

Does anyone else ( those who have nav systems ) that the audio level is too low when you have Radio/CD/DVD playing at a level sufficient to rattle the Rear view mirror?

It appears that the ladies voice does not track with the overall volume level.

Or is it just me?

This in my view is a major flaw!! If the volume for "her" is at 7, and the MLS is on at 20+ it gets harder to hear her...

I now set guidance, then drive off, suspend guidance and resume when I get nearer to my destination...

I could miss TMC and traffic routing, so it depends where I'm going.

Is there a Man's voice (and is he "camp" sounding like the one on my old Sony/Becker traffic Pro)? Is that voice any better?

Surely that was just your passenger

Maybe a word in the ear of ML, and see if they can come up with a fix.

I don't know the answer to your question, but can you (as a sat nav owner) tell me what the language possibilities are? For instance, I buy a Lexus from Germany, can I put the language on Dutch?

Thanks

I would have thought you'd be able to choose Dutch on a German car. My car (in England) has the following choices:

English

German

French

Italian

Dutch

Spanish

Swedish

Danish

Norwegian

Portuguese

This applies to the touch-screen buttons, pop-up messages and the voice guidance.

The voice recognition selectably recognises English, German and French (though this might vary on the continent I guess).

In that case, I'll make a test drive May 26th in a German IS200 full option (with sat nav), just over the border. Only 94.000 km.

Thanks man.
