Correcting Low Volume on Automotive Devices

To Check the Volume or Master Volume:

2. Confirm the volume is set to the desired level and it is not muted

On some devices, hit the down arrow on the left to see additional volume settings. Checkmark all desired to have sound.

If the master volume is turned up and the volume is still low, check the volume levels within the Mixer or Audio Mixer to make sure they are set to an audible level.  


To View the Mixer or Audio Mixer:

1. Touch the Volume icon on the Where To? View Map screen

Drive 53 Volume

2. Touch the Wrench icon or slider icon

    • Skip this step on some devices

    • Skip this step on some devices

4. Confirm the desired volume for any that apply: (i.e. Navigation and OK Garmin, Media, Phone, Alert Tones, Camera Alerts, Amazon Alexa, etc.)
