Volume of spoken instructions Vs music volume

Hi, can any knowledgeable person point the way to reduce the difference between the pro nav verbal instructions and the music volume?

I was driving today with my music turned up pretty loud, each time the car spoke a direction it dropped the music volume to almost non existent and then raised it up again. I would like to be able to drop the music volume just a touch rather than completely. It does somewhat kill the song!

You set the spoken instructions volume (and phone volume) independent from the radio / media volume by adjusting the nave volume when it us giving navigation instructions (or while on the phone)

Just reread your post, I don't think it is possible to select the amount you quieten the music volume a bit when navigation instructions are being given. It is a factory set parameter AFAIK

Most of the time I just turn the spoken instructions off. The frequency of them annoys me. I only turn them on when there are complex instructions to be followed and in this situation I normally turn the music down a little. Nothing worse than singing along at the top of your voice then having the volume cut!
