Lyndaa54 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I used the TA function for the first time yesterday and nearly veered off the road because the TA came across so loud. I tried to turn down the volume but all that happened was the volume of the radio turned down underneath and the TA didn't change. Can anybody please advise me if there is a way to turn down the TA volume? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm not sure - but that's exactly why I don't use it!! I prefer to use the Waze satnav app for traffic updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndaa54 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks. I don't really use sat nav unless I'm going somewhere that I don't know. I just got stuck in a big jam without satnav yesterday and wanted to hear what the deal was with the motorway. I'm sure there must be a way of turning the volume down as nobody wants to hear it at nightclub levels....unless you're 18 maybe ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I leave it running without a route and it highlights the slow moving roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndaa54 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks Sean but I don't have my phone to hand when driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 can you set the volume in the main menu ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndaa54 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 I can't see anything on the menu. The manual says you should be able to adjust the volume with the volume up and down buttons. This doesn't work though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfa Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 can you set the volume in the main menu I agree. If it's like the Focus, you should be able to adjust the volume in the menu settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndaa54 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 I went to Menu and Audio. There is a volume adjustment setting which was on +3 so I took it down to zero but it made no difference. If anybody knows how to change it I'd be very grateful to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It should alter the volume when ta is making anoucements, I tried it on my focus and it did drop volume without effecting the normal volume. Seems strange its not doing the same on yours? The volume level you were adjusting is for volume difference when driving at higher speeds to compensate for engine/road noise, thats what im led to believe.

Lyndaa54 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 I agree, it lets me turn the volume up louder but I can't turn it down. I guess it's faulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjay1 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 On some units you need to press and hold the ta button to access the ta volume adjustment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndaa54 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thank you, I've tried that also but nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Adjusting the volume control downwards whilst T.A. announcements are being broadcast should work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Note there is a preset minimum T.A. volume level - which is louder than normal when a T.A. broadcast is made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndaa54 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 I understand that it should come on loud to attract your attention to it but you should be able to turn it down. All that happens when I turn the volume down is the radio in the background turns down so when the announcement ends, you can hardly hear the radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Sounds like a trip to your friendly Fraud stealer may yield the answer as to whether the unit is faulty or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndaa54 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Think I'll save my money and just not use the feature. Appreciate all of your help and comments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigwith Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Both my current Fiesta ST and previous Focus Titanium X have the same Sony head unit and as others have said, the TA volume (up and down) is adjustable during transmission.
