I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __WAZE Navigation
Hi All,
For navigation I use the Waze app on my Iphone. The Iphone is connected via bluetooth dongle to the radio ( Bluetooth to AUX in dongle).
This works great, and the navigation voice volume is loud enough. Can change this with the volume button of the radio
However, when I then start Deezer ( or Spotify) to listen to music, the volume of the music is loud enough, and when the navigation voice comes in the music mutes, but the voice volume is then to soft to properly understand and hear it. I can dial up the volume, which results in a very loud music volume.
I have tried everything to get the volume of the voice of the navigation louder, but this only results in also the volume of the music to get louder.
Has anyone an idea how to fix this, so that the voice of the navigation is as loud as the music ?
On mine, android auto, when the voice announcements are active/spoken increase/decrease the volume on the audio unit. Doing this should only alter the navigation voice not the music/radio volume.
Not sure if this will work, since I have connected the iphone via bluetooth to the radio. so all sounds coming from the iphone will be influenced by the volume button on the radio.
I am still thinking it is a setting on the iphone, but have tried all I could find.
Maybe it is just not possible. ( also haven’t found anything on Waze website)
I “think” this is what you mean.
Open settings on your iPhone.
The Apple Maps setting, (bear with me).
Scroll down to Spoken Directions.
Open it up and you will see Softer- Normal -Louder.
Try the Louder one.
It’s my understanding it applies it to all the Navigation Apps.
I’m only used to android I’m afraid, wife had an iPhone a few years ago, couldn’t get on with it (neither me) then the battery died, so she was glad, back to android.
The voice is now louder than before. ( tried it out this morning on my way to work)
Maybe it is just me, but when the volume control for speed is turned on on the radio ( AFC ), it seems the volume of the music get louder but the voice doesn’t, but that can also be just me.
I think I can also adjust the volume of the music itself in the Deezer app. Or run the Deezer app separate from the waze app. Now the Deezer is coupled to the Waze app, but I can also disconnect it and run Deezer by itself.
Will give that a try later today.
Again thnx You have earned yourself a digital pint
If it’s any consolation, although I do use Deezer myself with android auto it’s the most temperamental music app I’ve used. It logs itself out on my phone so won’t play my tunes through the car, it’s also deleted music tracks randomly, in fact whole albums.
It’s a free to use app so it’s a not a big problem, now if I paid for it🤔
Musicolet works for me - I have it loaded on to the phone - and the android based head unit in the car.
I have around 90GB of music already saved to memory sticks/cards
This way I don’t need a signal to play music wherever I am.
I’m trying to get myself some tunes to download and save without the above mentioned apps, are they your own tunes, buy, download from wherever to play in that particular app?
