Does anyone know if there's a way to set seperate volume levels for the iPod and voice instructions? I find the levels are way off, with the voice navigation being significantly louder.
It looks like the volume control under the iPod menu is linked to the main volume.
I set my 510 up to route only the music through the main speakers, running the navigation through the internal speaker. However, becuase the volume was linked (and it's necessary to set the volume at 100% to get the best iPod signal), when it was time for a turn the voice started yelling at me at 100% volume through the internal speaker. Unless TomTom makes a Gilbert Gottfried navigation voice, that volume level is just too much.
Then i routed both iPod and directions through the radio (which i currently have running through an FM modulator that plus into my lighter. Not an ideal solution, but it works right now). First off, I was surprised at the quality of the voice (using Mandy/US) when run though better speakers.
However, the voice directions are still significantly louder. I did write to TomTom and suggest that for future software updates, they provide a feature to individually adjust iPod and direction volumes. i'll post a follow-up as soon as I hear from them.
