Making the Nav System shut up
Hi all,
I just picked up my 2006 Cooper S yesterday morning and I love everything about it except for the fact that I haven't yet found a way to make the nav system shut up when giving directions. I like to listen to music when I drive and the verbal instructions are damn irratating. The British accent helps somewhat, but still
In any case, I'm sure there has to be a way to unplug a wire somewhere to disconnect the damn thing from the stereo system. Has anyone here done this before?
Any help is much appreciated. I did a quick search of the forums and haven't found anything. If this has already been discussed, just point me over to the right thread...
Thanks a lot,
Alex

Hi, Alex.
If you hold the button down for a couple seconds when on the "Instructions" option, it'll mute the voice, and indicate this setting by showing a red line through the speaker icon. Of course, this only lasts for the current "trip" -- you'll have to do it again next time you get directions.
I'd like a way to change the default setting to mute, and then be able to request the voice when I want it, but... Hope that helps, thanks!

thefurman - just to expand on stottsan's instructions, here are the exact steps:
- Set up the directions
- While being directed, push the button once. This will bring up the context menu.
- Immediately push it a second time (Instructions is already highlighted), but hold it for a few seconds until the icon changes.

Cannot terminate guidance
Do newer versions correct this. It drives me nuts!
