Yes there is....
I used it today and the radio muted when directions were given....
Can you tell us what settings, if any, we need to enable this?
It should be the default, I've not looked at the settings, but, will look tomorrow.

Have you tried adjusting the guidance prompt volume using the volume control dial? You can only.do this when she is speaking.

I think he's asking about it muting while the directions are given, rather than the volume.

Yeah I get that but I don't see any setting for muting audio for voice prompts, may be start by seeing if the voice prompts are loud enough?

I'm not seeing any specific settings either, as I said earlier, it should be just the default. I haven't tried it yet, but, is there a difference between when listening to the radio and playing music from another source either bluetooth or connected? The radio definitely mutes when directions are given.

Sparks - how did you get music to mute during Nav directions?

I'm not talking about Apple CarPlay. Android Auto, Amazon, Microsoft, Bing, Google or BMW just to be clear. Ford Nav, listening to (for instance radio) I would like the music to mute or get quieter when directions are read out.]

Thanks!

Is your Sync software up to date? (20) or previous (19) Have you changed anything in settings? With a sync nav route selected and active my audio volume reduces automatically regardless of what music is playing, DAB, FM or Bluetooth streaming. All works the same.

Yep, as Wdf76 says, it's just muted during navigation directions since the beginning. I've not done anything in settings, if indeed there is one...

Thanks guys, that's very odd. Mine does not do this. Latest nav. Can adjust volume of guidance but radio does not mute at all.
