Could we have simply turned the Zumo volume down??

I wonder if my friends and I could have simply turned the volume down to ZERO on my Zumo 665's to keep them from blocking intercom operation.   

With the Zumo paired as A2DP first phone (to listen to XM, MP3, or Audio Books; every driving direction, alert, "recalculating", etc by the zumo interrupted intercom.  Sometimes, the 20S intercom would not come back for hours.  

Would have "muting" navigation on the Zumo have stopped it from taking top 20S priority and muting intercom?  

Does muting the Zumo navigation also stop the button-pressing beeps and alert beeps?

  Ken,

  If you select "mute" option in the Zumo 66x, then you dont get any sounds or beeps. The problem with the Zumo 66X is that you cant turn off the screen beeps if you have audio on! Its anoying!

  Screen beeps like weather alerts . . . .or just the pressing screen button beeps?  I can live with those.  

  I'm anxious to try the Senas with GPS navigation audio muted to see if it resolves the issue of the chatty Zumo lady taking charge of my Sena.

  Yeah, I tested that with a Zumo 590. Indeed you can turn down the level of the nav-instructions to 0. Then they won't interrupt the intercom anymore.

  Oh yeah, and I turned the Zumo's keyclicks off first thing.

  I tried following the Zumo across town to an address 25 miles away last week.  Without the Zumo lady giving navigation instructions, it's really difficult.  One has to look at the screen way too much.  

  I sure hope Sena gives us some options.  I'd really like to have the navigation multi-task with intercom and have the option of pushing a button or a voice command when a phone call comes in from the Zumo.  Actually, I can totally live without phone calls on the motorcycle; but need the navigation to multi-task with the intercom.

  Same here Ken. It's nice to have the Phone, but not necessary. Music while riding, actually hearing the nav-instructions, and a functioning intercom IS necessary however !

  Yes, most Zumo devices come with user-friendly volume controls. These controls are often accessible through the device's touchscreen interface or via external buttons. Here's how you could approach adjusting the volume:

  1. On-Screen Adjustment:

     • Navigate to the Settings menu on your Zumo device.
     • Select the Audio/Volume section.
     • Use the slider or "+" and "−" buttons to modify the volume level.

  2. Physical Controls:

     • Some devices feature hardware buttons on the side for quick volume adjustments.

  3. Bluetooth/Helmet Integration:

     • If the Zumo is connected to a Bluetooth helmet or speaker system, volume adjustments might need to be made directly on the paired device.
