Default Navigation Prompt Volume Level

I’ve had the bike for 3 months, brand new. I noticed the nav prompt volume was very low, while my music level was high. All of this is through my non-Harley Cardo Packtalk Edge. I found the prompt volume live in the settings menu (not the nav menu). It was set low and I raised it to the highest level of 10. Solution solved, until last night. The volume was low again, and even with my music off, I could hardly hear it. I pulled into a gas station to check the sound level, but it was still at 10. I tried changing the volume while the nav prompt was playing, but still no change. I haven’t changed any audio settings, and all other aspects of the Cardo is working fine.

Anyone have any ideas why my nav prompt sound level is low?

Did you check the volume on the pack talk edge?

I do not believe I raised the volume on the Cardo while the prompts were playing, but when I change the volume on the Cardo for music, I see the bike’s volume level bar go down; I think the nav works the same way, but I’ll give it a try. That doesn’t explain how the volume dropped yesterday. It’s been staying the same for over two months.

It's a different situation but when I ride with a friend who also has pack talk, in order to hear her louder I lower the volume on my phone (music) and raise the volume on my pack talk.

YZR, you were right! During a ride today I raised the navigation prompt volume using the Cardo, not via the bike's volume control, and the volume is plenty loud now. I adjusted the volume while the nav was actually speaking, otherwise, I think the music volume would have changed.

Thank you very much for your suggestion!

Default NAV Direction Prompt Volume

Hey all, I was using the Navigation today and the prompts to my helmet (HD Outrush Modular) was not very loud. I have my prompt volume set all the way up in the sound settings. However, when the prompts would play and I press the volume up button they do get louder and the bar is not all the way up. I got the sound maxed out but on the next prompt it was automatically lowered again. I have the auto volume control off. Not sure if I am missing a setting somewhere or if this is just the way it is, but if anyone has any insight I would appreciate it!

It's a known issue, maybe next software update.

I kind of figured as much. I guess I just have to deal with the pains of a first generation model change. Yeah we'll, I still like the bike, even if I have had to fight the dealer to give me what I paid for lol.

I believe there are also 2 volume controls. Using your regular volume control while the nav prompt is playing, turn it up.

I did, I defaults back to a lower volume making it useless because I can't hear it when it does start.
