I upgraded my sound system by adding three amplfiers. Now my system chimes and the voice commands are extremely loud. I guess that the NAV lady plays through speakers that are not part of the stereo system because her volume is unchanged.

Is there a way to lower the volume of the voice commands and system chimes? Can the dealer do this? This must have impacted some of you with aftermarket sound systems.

Thanks,

Dean

turn down the sensitivity on your amplifiers and just turn the source music volume up instead.

Check the idrive for "chime" volume and I am thinking the NAV has to have its own volume as well (I dont have nav but my Tahoe does and you can set the Nav seperate from music)...

YES! It worked!

Now, I tried this on the chime tones, but it didn't work. There don't seem to be any chime volume settings in the idrive. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks again,

Dean
