Radio and Sat nav

[Guest]

If I want vocal directions on the Sat Nav but don't want the radio/cd on, how do I suppress the latter. Doesn't the mute on the audio function just cancel all the output to the speakers ?

No the mute is overridden by both the sat nav and telephone.

or just turn up the sat nav voice when it is speaking and the radio down when it is not to change the balance of the two, it can be done via the audio section I think.
Hope this helps,

I actually wanted the Sat Nav voice turned off so I could listen to my music and monitor directions via the visual guidance.

I have asked at two main dealers and no-one has yet been able to help. I have also spent a fair bit of time fiddling with the system, trying to decipher the instruction manual, etc. all to no avail.

If you find an answer, please let me know.

Just taken a look in my pdf version of the manual, I'm not able to try in the car at the moment, but I think what you're looking for may be found in the Navigation - Set menu. Here you can change either the absolute level or the volume boost so perhaps by selecting a low level (I don't know if negative values are allowed) it may be possible to achieve the near mute setting you are seeking.

Let me know if this works.

On the 996, when u press the Navi button, then select 'Volume' and drop that down to 'Off' you can then listen to music and only get visual guidance if required. Not sure if it's the same on the 997 tho.[:-]

Yeh I'm sure you can do it via the set button in Nav. Think it's:

NAVI > Set > Route Guidance.. > ... Fixed Volume = Yes > Set the Volume to lowest

Although then I have a suspicion that the music may just go quiet when the Nav comes on. So you may need to play with the settings.

Easiest way though is to just turn down the volume when the voice gives directions. You can hit the 'repeat' button if you don't manage to get it all the way down before they finish talking.

Thanks for the suggestions - I am pretty sure I have been through all these permutations but it was well over a year now so perhaps I'll try again and see if your suggestions work.
