Volume of Sat nav

Used the sat Nave for the first time since the last software update and noticed that the voice commands on the sat nav have gone so low I can hardly hear them.

Radio and phone call volume have remained the same.

How do you increase the volume of the sat nav?

Ignore it 3 times and it will start shouting at you.

Have definitely seen it in the menu somewhere but my Zed is in for repair so can't confirm at the moment.

I believe if you go to the main menu > set and scroll to find sat nav volume. Hope that helps!

I also think I have seen something in the menu somewhere but I can’t find it.

Hopefully someone will know

If it is like the one on our 330e the only way we found to increase the volume was to turn up the sound using the volume control whilst she was actually speaking. So you have to be quick. It would then remain at that volume for future use. It is much easier to to make changes on my old TomTom.

I wonder if that works on the E85/86?

I endured the misery of entering a destination in mine once in the last 3 years and it was SHOUTING AT ME. :headbang: :lol:

Turn up the volume when she is giving you instructions...

Had the same issue with the volume on the Sat Nav. Why can't they do upgrades without altering your personal settings?

The last upgrade altered the temperature settings when the heated seats and steering wheel was activated. So annoying :x
