Does that bother anyone else but me?
In my ML350, the voice would AUTOMATICALLY be muted if I was on the phone.
It's VERY difficult to understand the nav instructions OR the person on the other end of the phone when the nav lady speaks!

ALSO...

In the ML350, there was an option to lower the level of the music OR NOT when the nav instruction voice spoke. I don't see such an option in the X5.
Anyone know how to make that happen?
Seems like when the nav voice speaks, whatever I'm listening to gets totally muted. What a drag! I like to put the nav voice just a little louder than the music I'm listening to, so I can hear it AND the music. Or if I'm listening to talk radio, then maybe I might want the radio muted when the nav voice speaks...
But I really would like the option!
Anyone know how to access such an option???

Thanks so much for your insight!

I shut off the voice completely. It also helps to have HUD.
