How to shut down radio and use navigation
#11
I haven't actually tried this but just thinking out loud here. If you don't want any output other than the NAV then could you connect the bluetooth to your smartphone (prerequisite of course) and just keep the volume completely down on the phone? That way the sound can be turned up on the Boom for the NAV but not the music. Will try this later today when I hop on the bike.

Good one, I thought the original post or one of the replies suggested that the volume control being all the way down also effected the volume on the NAV, which it does not as I see now. Have only had the bike for three days.....was just trying to think outside the box. Oh well, I'll just shut up and ride now!!

Good luck.

Yea, that's the way the Nav works in our Chevy. You have to turn the volume down. If it's completely like the Chevy you should be able to adjust the Nav volume separately and will be able to hear the directions. It is ridiculous to pay that much for factory Nav and not be able to use it independent of the radio. A real cheap move.

The volume control for the Nav instructions is different than the volume control for the music sources and is different than the volume control for the CB and is different than the volume control for the intercom. All use the same up/down control buttons, but those buttons only change the volume of the currently active output. Time to read some of the manual & play with the radio to figure out how it works. Better to do this in the garage than out on the road.

Actually I did read the manual, or at least tried comprehending all 200+ pages of it, but I missed the part about separate volume controls. So I'll keep the radio volume down to zero, and try to adjust the volume on the nav while it's quickly telling me to turn left. Seems like there should be a better way, other than being stuck with the radio on all the time, even at zero volume, when all you want is the nav.

I could, but I shouldn't have to. I just expected a more user friendly technology from such an expensive unit, especially since Harley's been selling the external Garmin Zumo 665 which is an excellent unit. I've only ridden the bike from the dealership to home and fooled with it in the garage at this point. I'm sure I'll come to like it after using it for a while.
