Gas Man Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Used my 2014 Journey RT today with the 8.4N navigation unit. I could barely hear the turn by turn prompts, had to turn the radio off, but the prompts were extremely low. In the past, the radio volume would drop before a prompt, the prompt would be loud and clear, then radio volume would come back up. Checked the manual, has information for increasing the prompt volume, but my unit does not have screens to match those instructions. Anyone have any ideas?? Last used navigation I think in Feb, no issues. Help Please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas Man Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Figured it out today. The trick is to turn up the radio volume while a turn voice prompt is announcing the next turn. This increases the turn prompt volume, but does not affect the radio volume. Who knew!! silenze and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milous Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I was aware of this as my prior system worked the same way.. But, how do you KEEP the volume turned all the way down? Everytime I turn the volume all the way down, it comes right back up with the next prompt. If I don't need directions for another 20-30 miles or whatever it is very annoying to have the constant interuptions. The prior system kept the volume where you left it.

bigtsr Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Turn off the volume by speed setting???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milous Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Tried it again today and it's now working correctly, no idea what happened prior, must have been a quirk in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
