Android auto volume
I'm experimenting with something at the moment, if it works I'll get back, probably Wednesday.

Well I've tried the phone approach using developer options and nothing I've tried works.
However, in the Toyota my wife drives there is a setting in the head unit that controls the volume required.
So, it's definitely a Ford issue as far as I can see and nothing to do with the phones, which is what I suspected as for everyone it reverts back to level 6.

Ok...So, if you use Waze instead of Google maps you can control the volume via the Waze settings. I've had mine on all day with no problems and just about audible on the Ford preset volume 6.
What you lose is any directions showing on the centre dashboard...

In Waze settings, look in Voice and Sound. There's a 'Guidance volume' slider. You can also turn on 'Brief instructions', not tried that but should keep the interruptions to a minimum as well.
Good luck...

So basically the option, if you don't want bleeding ears, is not to use fords navigation system Anyone else think that is a bit naff. I've turn voice navigation off, but I think I am missing out on speed camera alerts (not that I ever break the speed limit) it is just good to know that I entering a safety zone
Not sure why you would use the Ford navigation system in the first place, because it's a bit (possibly a lot) naff in it's entirety. Use Android Auto (subject of the thread) and select Waze as the navigation app and you can control the volume.AncientOne wrote: βSun Mar 03, 2024 12:49 pm So basically the option, if you don't want bleeding ears, is not to use fords navigation system Anyone else think that is a bit naff.

Just to clarify, are you guys referring to the "prompt" volume setting on the Sync3 headunit? This is what Android Auto uses to playback instructions from navigation apps, at least on mine.
I have the issue that the prompt/navigation volume defaults to 7 with every single turn. You turn down the volume and then at the very next instruction or junction, sometimes just a few seconds later, it comes back on at volume 7.
This happens with the built-in nav as well as Android Auto because both use the "prompt" volume control, not the normal media volume control.
Is this what you folks are referring to in this thread?
