Navigation Volume
Is there any way to set the navigation system so that it reduces the music volume when it speaks out directions? Right now, if I'm listening to music, I can barely hear the audio prompts for turns and such. I raised the voice volume to compensate, but now when I don't have music on it's like she's shouting at me, lol.

Wow; this is the SAME EXACT problem I’m having. I mentioned same to the master tech at my dealer when I recently brought mine into service and the result was that it cannot be changed, although I am not confident that he exhausted all resources. I plan to write Lexus regarding same, as EVERY other car I've ever had with navigation automatically reduces the volume of the radio / source when directions are being given (and that's including a Lexus LX470). How could they have gotten this simple, basic and important function wrong? I urge every to please contact Lexus corporate regarding this, whether by calling 800-25-LEXUS or by e-mailing them on their website. This can be so easily fixed!

Just a thought: have you tried turning the volume ****/hitting the buttons on the wheel when it starts to talk? I feel like I did this and the volume changed without increasing the radio.

I think I turned the volume **** down, which made my music volume drop so I could hear the nav voice in the background more clearly. But I don't remember it changing the volume of the nav voice.

Verified you can change it via Menu -> Setup -> Voice.
Edit: note changing the volume controller **** won't adjust the nav volume.

To be clear, yes, we can change the volume of the navigation voice, but that's not the point. What is the point is to have the system automatically, temporarily lower the volume of the radio when the navigation voice comes on. Increasing the navigation voice to a loud volume and having it come on is annoying when you’re either listing to radio that’s low in volume or not listening to any radio at all...

Complaining does work. Previously we couldn't recirculate the cabin air in the 2013 and older Infiniti vehicles. The 2014 model now lets you do that. (Well, the Q50 we can).
