Title: my car talks to me....
Post by: Cookie Thumper on January 21, 2018, 09:16:41: okies I love the sat nav but the sheila telling me "left lane ends merge right"..... "lane narrows".... "children crossing".... ETC ETC

Is becoming annoying when tootling around town and not using the sat nav.

How do I turn her off ?

I'm 3000 kilometres away from my car at the moment, but you can go into general setting on the 8" screen and selectively turn off the warnings. I have just left School Zones, speed limits and speed cameras..

Can't remember exactly which menu, but it's easy to do once you find it. Just have to untick a few boxes.

I could do that but in doing so also turns down the radio.

Cool cool, good to hear there is some setting somewhere, I'll have to hunt the systems further.
