on the phone?!

The volume on the phone turns up everything , just like the volume on the radio. On my GTI, adjusting the volume of a call during use only affects the call volume, and adjusting the volume of navigation when navigation is talking, only affects the volume of navigation. That’s what I’m looking to do because when riding down the road with iTunes playing music, navigation or phone calls are way too soft.

 

Did you try turning up the volume when the directions are being spoken?

 

Yes. It does nothing - does not affect the volume at all. It’s like the volume on both the steering wheel and the head unit are disabled when the directions or a phone call are in process.

 

Check out "Voice settings" in the manual.

 

I use Waze for navigation. At first, it was entirely too loud and the car volume knob had no effect. Inside the Waze app there is a volume setting, which I set to 35%.

If any app volume is not to your liking I suggest you look at the app itself.

 

I was able to adjust the volume of google maps in CarPlay via the google map app on my phone.

 

Reviving an oldie as I was trying to figure this out as well for us iPhone users, hope this helps others!
*Please keep in mind in your audio setting (High, Medium, Low) for ASL (automatic sound levelizer) in the audio "sound" settings, this feature adjusts to the optimum volume and tone quality according to vehicle speed to compensate for increased road noise, wind noise, or other noises while driving - by default Toyota has this set to Medium in '19 and '20 non-JBL speakers.

In Waze:

Navigate to settings > voice & sound > adjust slider volume to your preferred numerical setting.

40% for me

In Google Maps:

Open side menu > navigate to settings > navigation > select preferred guidance volume toggle

'softer' for me

In Apple Maps:

When connected to CarPlay it uses the current volume your Siri is set to on your device. You can fine tune this by issuing a Siri command pressing the command toggle on the steering wheel or holding the home button on the CarPlay screen and issuing the command: "change Siri volume to (x)%" - (x) being your preferred numerical setting ex: 40% for me.

additionally you have the option to change the default further by navigating to settings app on your iPhone > maps > driving & navigation > elect preferred navigation voice volume setting

Overall Siri voice for everything else:

Thanks! This helps. Although i still can’t get Siri to dial it down. Even tho she tells me she will. She’s still quite loud! LoL

 

Go to setup - voice - voice volume and adjust it from there
How do you adjusts the volume of CarPlay phone and maps directions on the standard Ltd head unit? Compared to the volume of music when using CarPlay, the volume of directions and voice during phone calls is very low, and the volume knob on the unit and the steering wheel don’t affect it at all.

Poor system design. Unlike other car co's they didn't set this up to let you change it from the car side, only from the phone.

 

Map directions volume are controlled by the voice settings option on your head unit
