The voice of Natalie comes thru the left midrange speaker but not the tweeter. Music plays normally thru all speakers. Is this normal?

 

Yep, normal

 

+1 Thats the only speaker that plays the nav voice. Nothing to worry about.

 

Yep only one speaker which is a disgrace if you ask me. Minimum clarity and is low volume. At least they couldve gave us the driver and pass. door speakers. I wonder if this has been addressed on the Ls460 2007-2013?

 

You can adjust the volume on the NAV screen.

 

True but its still not really that great. Anything other than dead silence, you will be hard pressed to hear the other person. I really hope this was addressed on later LS models.

 

The nav lowers the volume as the nav direction is speaking, but if you have the radio blasting, then you won't hear the nav... but.that high level is like around 25, so if you need to listen at that level, then you have hearing issues to begin with.

 

I have a hearing problem and wear the best hearing aids I can buy. But, in spite of that, I can actually carry on a telephone conversation in my LS430. Volume is not a problem from the speaker and the car is quiet enough to allow me to do this.

 

Who wants a woman screaming in our ear anyways!..Dont we already get enough of that at home?..

 

Actually fellas i misread this whole post and thought the OP was refering to the bluetooth voice for some odd reason. My mistake! The Nav voice volume is fine to me. Yes it is adjustable and i do have mine set just about mid-way. Apologies to you all on me not paying attention.

 

It's not the volume that I object to, it is the fact that the nav voice isn't played thru the mid and tweeter, just the midrange speaker. Human voice carries over to the frequency range of the tweeter.

 

Thats just the way the Lexus system works...
