    Is there a way to change the options so that the radio is silenced when navigation is giving instructions? My BMW does it.
    When the radio is on I can't make out what the instructions are ...

    The radio should drop sound completely when navigation kicks itself on to speak. I don't know if the manual has instructions on any adjustments. I tend to just call the Dealer service department and have them walk me thru it or checkout why it isn't doing something automatically.

    As far as I know you can only adjust the navigation sound louder using the speaker symbol on the left while in map mode.

    In my V three the radio volume does not drop during navigation instructions. As rjparker stated, you can increase the volume using the speaker icon on the Nav screen.

    Navi instructions defeat audio volume on the v Five (non-ATP)

    I would beg to differ... A 2013 Five is what I have and in default it doesn't.

    I know what I hear on my 2013.
    EDIT: I found that I can turn up the navigation volume enough to hear it over the radio/stereo sound system under normal volume situations. It is a poor solution when I am rocking out!
