Navigation Volume
 

Hi,

is their a way i can adjust my navigation volume to be independent of the stereo volume?


The problem am experincing at the moment is when i am in sat nav mode and am listening to the CD the woman's voice seems to overlap the music, it does not mute the music first as i thought it suppose to.
Also if the music is loud then the sav nav is also set at the same volume even if i had it down in the menu system.

can i anyone help on this issue?

Thanks

I believe it can be seperately adjusted, maybe try adjusting it while she is talking. But I know some things are different from US spec to Euro...

You can also adjust the nav volume from the settings menu on the nav unit.

settings in the settings it says "NAV Volume", don't do it with people in the car b/c they always make sex jokes b/c the woman is like "softer, softer...."

You''re right it does not mute the music first and that's fine with me.
But as others have said it is in the settings menu.

with the radio turned on, press "INFO" and you should be able to adjust the volume of the nav voice from -9 thru to +9

:thumbup:

Aue53. That's nav-min option you are referring to. It's not an avail option on my 2005 e53

Do u have that option on yours?

Beemarman. U ever figure it out?

Are you saying that when you press the MENU button and the screen below comes up...you don't have SETTINGS listed?

If you do, when you select it and press the right knob...you should get 2 pages of selections you can adjust...one of them is NAV VOL. ...if you don't get this...what do you get when you select SETTINGS?

Hi qsilver7
I do have settings "set" at the bottom and the volume control where nav sais "quieter". "Louder". However I believe this is different to the nav-min option

With the above the nav is just speak louder or quieter so if u have radio on loud she will just be quieter or louder over your loud radio

However the nav-min. Which u should be able to access from pressing "info" on the screen. Will control on a scale of -9 to +9
How much mute or no mute to put on. Radio/cd. When nav speakes
Eg -9 fully mute radio when she talk
0 would be just a half volume mute when talks and +9 would be no mute
At all on radio when she talks

Ah...I think I get what you mean now. :)

Getting into the service mode can be tricky...apparently there are multiple ways depending on some oddity of BMW model/BMW market???

Below are a couple of "service mode" instructions for Nav monitors...perhaps one of them will work for members out there having difficulty accessing the service mode:

i can get into the service menu but no options in their help me all i have is serial number / software version, GAL ( speed sensitivity), DSP, and the TP option (which is linked to TP-min) nowhere is the nac-min option

I ran across this video by Edwin (an e38 forum member from the Netherlands)...and it shows the difference of the European wide screen nav...when you press the INFO button...what appears is totally different than what we see on our screens here in the USA:

BMW E38 7 series 16:9 screen INFO and SELECT button functions - YouTube

what he has is exactly as I have.. what do you guys see when you press "info"?

When in audio (radio) mode...if you press the INFO button you get the screen below...which you can see is much different than what you guys in Europe see. And also the Nav-Min selection which sent the discussion in this direction. :)

Qsilver this is the exact screen option I am referring to with nav-min

So is this the setting for USA cars? Do u think if I use nav coder and select USA I get those settings. Out of curiosity what year/model car that screen shot from?

So if nav-min is on USA cars how to European cars replicate this option?

That pic is from my 2006 X5 (12/2005 build date)...I went out to the parking lot to take that image just prior to posting.

I don't have any of the software/hardware for programming...so I don't know if it's possible or not...or whether BMW used a different supplier (brand/manufacture) for the European market, or what.

But between the INFO screen I get and the INFO screen you and Edwin get (in Europe) seen in his video...the selections & screens are totally different and you all have way more things to play around with...except the thing you seek (Nav-min). :(

If you go into the service menu (turn radio on and press and hold select for 8 sec)
This should take u to service menu where u have gal settings and serial number etc
Can u advise what software version u ate running

I'm running SW 4-1/00

That's the software for menus loaded via sat nab drive
I think these menus are generated from the bm53/54 radio module

If you go into service mode (pressing and holding select for 8 seconds) this will bring up
Gal settings etc. mine is running 41-04 98

Do u also have any options for TMC?
