Does this ever irritate you? Just at an interesting point of news or GQT in chimes herself with the latest, sometimes superfluous, always too wordy directions... :( Well after 4 years of Macan ownership the latest revelation to surprise me (by accident) is that Sat Nav interjections can be silenced on a one at a time basis as well as having volume set to zero! Just one click of the steering wheel mounted "volume" control curtails them, at least until next time :D

When I used to travel everywhere via my Motorcycle I had a Sat Nav attached to it and an Intercom/Radio Transmitter/Receiver attached so hearing the Sat Nav directions was no problem.

What I am getting at is the Sat Nav could be upgraded to different voices one of which was John Cleese in full Basil Fawlty mode.

Suppose a Liam Neeson voice would give directions ……. You WILL take the next turning LEFT or I will find you and kill you.
