OK, its too clever then to have another one in front of the driver all the time. Makes sense now. Or it wasn't thought through properly. One or the other.

All of the above

We got our new 2013 i30 Elite only last week. Although the sales consultant had shown us how to adjust the Guidance volume I could not work out - at first - how to do that myself. Here is how it works on our model. Whilst the map is displayed press the "Menu" button in the lower LH corner. On the next page press the "More" button in the bottom RH corner. On the next page press the "Settings" [spanner & screwdriver] button. On the next page press the "Sound and Warnings" button. Patience, we are almost there.  Now press the "Voice Language" button. A number of female & male guidance voice options appear. Press any of the voice buttons. WHILST the female/male voice is speaking adjust the Guidance volume up or down using the radio's volume knob or the steering wheel controls.
It seems one cannot turn  off the radio completely, but you can turn its volume right down to zero because the Guidance voice volume setting is independent of the radio volume. Hope this is of help

Hi Kiska.
I'm guessing you've solved the fading radio volume and beeping sound by now. I have just bought an i30 elite (2014) and had the exact same problem.
And for those that come after me, this is how you fix it.

The fade and beep is related to the "PROXIMITY ALERT" in the navigation system and unless you like the radio fading and the accompanying beep you just gotta turn this feature off!

If you don't know already, this how you do it:-

1. Press the NAV button (RHS of screen)
2. Press the "+MORE" icon (Bottom right of screen)
3. Press the "Settings" icon (top left of screen)
4. Press the "Sound and Warnings" icon (top of screen)
....you should notice that the "Proximity Alerts" icon (bottom of screen) has a yellow tick in the box on the right.
5. Press the "Proximity Alerts" icon.
....the yellow tick will disappear and so will the annoying radio fade and beep.

Hope that helps
