NAV question (voice guidance volume)

Today I got my NAV system activated by the dealer, this is the first car in Costa Rica to have a factory NAV system working, so many years waiting and finally works!
My question is about the volume of the voice that gives you directions, volume is too low and difficult to hear, there is a way to make it sound louder?

Yes, when the Nav speaks just turn the volume knob but you gotta turn it before she stops talking. There might be some other way within the idrive too just that I haven't explored it yet.

You mean turn the know right after she starts talking until I reach the volume I want?
How about the radio music Im hearing, it will also go louder, or just her voice?
i also think there must be a way to make via iDrive, hope some good fellow will help us before I start looking into the owners manual

No it won't affect your music.

As long as you turn it up before she stops talking it will not affect the music. Give it a shot, you will find it much much easier then trying to find the setting for the nav volume.

Dude, this is the only thing I managed to do to her, and now I'm lost all the time but at least she doesn't speak to me! I win, though finding a yarn store that's a mile away from me might have taken me 50 to get there. I call these unfortunate details I can live with.

These words are rarely said to me, in this case I actually deserve them.

I usually solve these by sucking up to an engineer but this time a therapist would be a better option. Candy (navigation lady) and I are in the need of some sort of relationship guidance, or an ax.

The volume settings for NAV are burried in I-drive settings for Navigation as well. Took me a while to find it after I picked my car up on ED. My car isn't back yet or I would look again to tell you exactly where I found it. Like others said won't effect your music volume level.
