For me, it is a real pity that you can't configure the stereo to mute when the navigation tells you something, so that you could actually hear what it is saying...

In this tread, I see a guy who has a tel mute wire going into the head unit:

Would it be possible to take signal from somewhere when the navigation gives instructions and feed it into this mute wire so that music mutes?

 

That kit is for Nav-TV...not so sure it will work with what you want. Have you turned up the voice on the Navi? It only comes out of the speaker on the driver door if memory serves me correct. I hate that think talking personally! haha.

 

dont blast your music so loud

 

I actually like it better. You are listening to your music too loud if you can't hear the Nav. It's annoying to have a song cut off suddenly, and then take 1/2 second to resume just so the nav can tell you something that you semi-know already. Because our Navs don't work in motion, I tend to program in my destination starting from my house. Therefore, I don't really need to pay attention to it until later in the journey. During those earlier times, I prefer to have the music not be interrupted.

I think the Acura Nav does what you want, and I think it's annoying, though I guess it wouldn't have hurt to have it as an LPS setting.

 

it shuts off my sound system. so i know when it's about to say something.

 

Yeah, It is in an option in the menu's to have the music pause when the navigation speaks. I can't remember which option it is but I'm sure someone will jump in and let you know.
