speaker volume too high
Anyone find the speaker volume is too high? When I'm listening to radio (FM/AM/XM), I'm listening at level 2-3 when stopped. When I'm driving, I'm listening at around level 4-5. Level 8 is uncomfortably loud. From the volume bar, it seems like it goes up to 50 or 100. I haven't try anything more than level 8.
And also, the default navigation guidance volume (50%) was so loud that it scared me when I used it. I'm at less than a quarter for that now.

Did you adjust the center and roof speaker volumes? You can drop those down. One of the demos I drive had them both cranked way up and I noticed the same thing with the volume range until I lowered them.

I turned off the voice guidance system. I get irritated at all of the GPS system that need to tell you "in a quarter of a mile.. in 1000 feet, in 200 feet... yada yada.. just give me a visual map and I am good.
I don't have a problem with the speakers too loud at all. I have adjusted the fader and level settings a bit to suit my ears.

SVC will increase the volume at higher speeds, to compensate for higher ambient wind and road noise. It won't necessarily reduce the volume at low speed relative to "default" at a given overall volume setting.
One very nice thing about this infotainment system is that the volume of guidance and other "voice" from the vehicle can be adjusted in real time, simply by twisting the little volume knob. That's way better than digging into three levels of menus to find the setting.
I wouldn't worry about the numerical value of the volume setting.
My tired old ears really appreciate the clarity of the high-mounted midrange speakers in the doors, and the roof-mounted speakers. Best audio I've ever heard in a car, by far. Old-school systems with the speakers mounted low in the doors give your ankles a front-row seat to the concert. Your ears, not so much.

I'm not not worry about the numerical value of the volume. Right now, there's only 4 levels of volume that I can listen to. Level 4-7. It's really hard to fine tune the volume that I want. If I use the volume knot, it moves several levels at once. If I use the volume rocker on the steering, it tends to jump 2 level at once unless I'm super careful.

You could try setting the "center" and "roof" levels below the default setting. And experiment with the "midrange" and "tweeter" settings if you find the default too harsh. If there are no rear seat passengers ( or you want to drown them out ), you can also set the "fader" toward the Rear. I did notice that the minimum volume was a bit high when I was trying to sit in the garage and play with my new toy late at night. Can't get away with anything...
