Sat Nav - voice volume problem

When I'm on a set route at night with the kids asleep in the car, I like to have the sat nav voice commands turned down to a very low volume (low but still audible). Seemingly I can adjust the volume of a single voice command as it speaks, by turning the volume knob, but unlike previous brands ive had which remembers that adjusted volume level, at the next command the RRS resets itself back to the original volume?!?

Am I missing a setting (highly likely) or is this yet another bug/feature of LR? SOLD - MY16 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic - Fire Engine Red, Fixed contrast pan roof, TV, Dual Screen, 5+2, Privacy, Noble paddles.

Can't remember, but is there a volume setting in the System Settings pages of the Touch Screen?

On my car as long as you adjust the Sat Nav volume as you are getting an announcement, it stays at that new volume level until ignition is turned off.
You can also preset the Volume control for announcements under system settings. John

Mine works like that too. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Hmmm, that's what I was expecting. But my car isn't playing fairly, so I'm going to have to see if I can reset it or something because at the next announcement it resets the volume to what's set in the main volume settings.

I am "enjoying " the same feature. I adjust the volume while the announcer is in progress , then the next announcement is back to the previous high volume setting. On my last trip I muted the announcements. I couldn't find any settings for volume while driving. 2017 MY17 SDV6 SE

Glad it's not just me then. I've resorted to switching off all the voice commands when travelling at night with the kids asleep. It's very irritating TBH, especially as the RRS Nav isn't the most intuitive when it comes to onscreen commands. I did a 4hr journey the other night across mainly A roads and I missed a junction turn off because of this problem, resorting to a long drive to the next junction to turn around so we could go back.

I resorted to reading the manual and under volume settings for the sat nav, it says to adjust with the volume knob or steering wheel controls. It should remain at the selected volume level without re-adjusting. 2017 MY17 SDV6 SE

Mine says that too, but clearly there's a bug somewhere in our configurations that needs to be fixed as no matter what I do I can't get it to remember the desired volume. Strange that it's happening on both a MY16 and a MY17 car. SOLD - MY16 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic - Fire Engine Red, Fixed contrast pan roof, TV, Dual Screen, 5+2, Privacy, Noble paddles.

I will update when I get a response, they have already confirmed the USB playlist function has been dropped (and will be removed from the manual as some point). My car is MY17.
