Im don't think it can be done but no harm in asking. Can the volume on traffic announcements be turned down lower than the set bar volume. Any other audio unit ive ever had in a car you can adjust the TA volume full range why does the command only have set volume levels. Its really stupidly loud especially when im listening to the CD changer.

When the next announcement is in progress simply adjust the volume. It will adjust the announcement volume and not the source volume, whether that be CD, Aux or even Tuner.

Ive tried that (same as other units do) it just turns down the overall volume for whatever source your on.

Im taking the car to Merc specialist later today(needs a new window mechanism) ill try again but found in the past it just turns the overall volume down had the same problem in my SLK..

OK just dropped my car off and on the journey there had 3 traffic announcements. So tried turning down volume while they were on and all it does is turn down the overall volume on the source your on exactly as I said it does and did on my SLK as well. My unit is a NTG 1 perhaps on later units it does turn the TA down but deffo does not on mine. Its really annoying as it comes in very loud.

My understanding is that adjusting the volume whilst an announcement is being made only works on Sat Nav commands not Traffic Announcements.

I thought there was a sub menu somewhere for changing the TA? From memory, there's only a limited range of volumes available, something like 3 discrete levels.

Do you have some kind of audio settings menu?
 
There's a setting in Star Diagnosis on some Mercedes head units to set the increased volume for traffic announcements (default is +4dB)

Cheers

Are you thinking of the menu option that sets how much the main audio is muted when navigation instructions are played?
 
So as I thought you cannot turn the TA volume down only adjust the level by the segment bar in settings which does not turn it down enough a very very stupid design
