I have reported it previously, and I still have an issue with it. I do not know if this is an application issue or the hardware I am using.
The issue is that the volume level for the navigation is way too low comparing to the music volume level. The volume level for the application is set at maximum.
When I drive my car (iPhone 11P connected through the Bluetooth to the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder,) to hear the navigation clearly I have to blast the music very loudly. It is very annoying, and I have stopped to listen to the music at all during the navigation. Bummer!
The same thing happens when I ride the motorcycle and use Bluetooth connected helmet speakers (Chatterbox and lately FADSport.) Both work fine with the music, but navigation is too low in relation to the music.
Is there any way to increase maximum volume level of the navigation to be more comparable to the music level?
Am I only one that has that problem?
I don't have this problem with my Sena headset and iPhone 15 Plus. However, it remains awkward that the volume of music and instruction cannot be regulated separately. Flitsmeister has solved that perfectly with this 100% switch:
@UltraStar Sometimes I have it after an update of IOS or firmware of my sena headset (or reset). What I see then is that when the bluetooth connection is there, all settings are at the desired values. But my bluetooth connection itself to the headset is then at 10 or 20 percent instead of 100. I only see this after I have made the connection. Swipe down on the right side of your phone screen and then you will see the volume of the bluetooth connection.
@ErikMatthezing I think I have tried everything. I think I have seen the issue that you are referring to, it did happen to me several times. The Bluetooth volume is always at 100% on the phone. Still, the music is way too loud to listen for the comfortable announcements from the navigation.
@UltraStar, this is a problem ever since the beginning. The cause is that the OS TTS is used, and is usually mixed into the media channel of the device, where also the music plays. Therefore you cannot set the speech volume independently. Some Samsung phones seem to have a "Volume per app" function, that handles this much better. It is about time that Google and Apple wake up...

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.
@Con-Hennekens Thanks. I guess we will have to get used to it. I do not think Apple will do anything about that anytime soon.
