shouting PID unit

[jenson10]

Ok, so if I am driving along with music playing through my Iphone in through the bluetooth and I have the sat nav on it shouts the first couple of words everytime it speaks, I am on about speaker distortion levels, anybody else had this?

[daveface]

Is it the first few words then adjusts to the volume you set the person to speak at ? If so mine does this too :-/ it's a "feature" I think lol mines a Garmin PID.

My Garmin does this too.

Mines has been known to be the opposite on occasions, it whispers sat nav announcements. Sorted by either adjusting as above the volume control within settings or do a device reset. I haven't got an iphone hooked up to it, it's an older Samsung Galaxy.

Mines the opposite too. Very quiet until I turn volume up or reset it. Mines a Navigon.

My Garmin does that too, almost like it wants to get your attention!

Mine does the shouty thing for the first half a second of nab instructions when I'm playing my iPhone tunes.  Startling and annoying but it wakes you up!!

but it wakes you up!!

 

Should you really be driving whilst asleep is the question

so this is a common thing, it does my nut it! end up turning it off and using the nav on my iphone, I will email Garmin later and see if they have heard of this before.

Well I'm on the road at 4am for my commute from Northumberland to Dundee, so I usually find a quick power nap helps while away the hours   . I just wish I'd waited and ordered my Citigo after they brought in that folding front passenger seat option as (even with my cruise control set) it's tricky climbing into the the back for a snooze.
