Default Navigation Question Using The Radio

Is there a way to have the navigation override the radio?

If I'm listening to the radio, I don't always hear the navigation voice prompts.

When the navigation lady voice prompts come up the radio's volume should automatically turn down. you don't even need to do anything. I think you have the voice volume too low.

If your blasting the radio, your not going to hear her..

She only comes through one speaker on the drivers door...

In the navigation menu, there's a setting to change the nav volume.

^^^Correct...

If you listen to the radio at normal volume, you will be able to hear her just fine...

you are correct. only the left speaker comes on with her voice the rest are the same. joez is right. if you are blasting the volume way up you won't be able to hear it.

Totally agree bud!!!!

But when you need directions, you either listen to the "chick" or at least glance at the screen for your next turn or exit...

I was hoping there might be a "hidden" way to have the radio mute when the lady spoke.

I hear her but with the radio playing I generally don't understand what is being said.
