Occasionally the radio mutes briefly and a series of tones are produced. What is the meaning of this set of short musical chimes or tones?

Is your phone synced to bluetooth? Could be a notification sound from your phone.

I thought of that. My phone has been synced since I purchased the car, but the tones have just started to occur. Furthermore, when I hear the tones I check my phone to see if any type of notification or message has occurred. I do agree that this is the most likely source of the tones, but have not been able to identify the trigger.

A recent phone update may have changed the characteristics. An app on the phone could be behind it to. I agree, it's odd you see no notifications but I believe I've had something similar happen to me years ago with an app that gave 'notifications' but did not advertise that on the home or status screen.

To get rid of the variable, I would just turn off bluetooth from the phone for a few days and see what happens.

What I can't figure out is how to control the volume of the GPS navigation and the volume of the music. For example, sometimes the music is soft, but the GPS voice is very loud. I can't seem to be able to adjust the GPS voice volume.

At least on my setup, if you adjust the volume while the navigation is talking, the volume changes apply to the navigation volume and not the music volume. It's even a different color on the display. I'm not sure if there's a way to do this offline or not. It's a little annoying sometimes, if you have directions that are wordy you can accidentally change the wrong volume.

That's the only way I've been able to adjust it as well. You're right - nav/turn-by-turn volume slider displays as gray, music slider as blue, and phone volume (i.e., calls) slider as orange. Music and phone are the easiest to adjust, as you can imagine. But adjusting the nav volume requires timing. Not to mention inadvertently adjusting it. It's happened to me several times where I'm in the middle of adjusting the music volume and the GPS spits out a direction. Then you have to wait for it to speak up again in order to bring it back to the previous volume. A little annoying. Is there any other method to do this?

Great suggestion.

Yes, you solved it. I turned off the sound to several notifications and that stopped the unidentified chimes/tones.

Awesome, good news! Happy to help
