Navigation Audio Speaker

[Thunderbird 2]

My 2015 70D with MCU2 recently was updated to 2023.26.7. Since then the navigation audio only comes out of the front center speaker. Before this update it came out of all the speakers. I’ve seen some posts where the opposite behaviour was mentioned (it used to only come from the front center speaker but after an update it comes from all the speakers). Does anyone know what the design-intent of this feature is: should nav audio come from all the speakers or just the front center speaker?

My 2020 just comes from the front. Rear seat passengers do not need to hear the NAV wench speak.

Thanks DerbyDave. It makes sense. It’s also funny how mine was incorrect for all this time and just now got fixed.

How dare you! She's a very nice lady that lives in a very small box in my car. And she only gets the driving instructions wrong occasionally.

I talk with her frequently, and often with a harsh tone...usually, "Shut Up!" She never listens to me.

I have the same issue. Happened this week with the update. I tried the reboot using the scroll wheels but still same issue. Worked.fine before the update. Now navigation voice is only front middle speaker. 2013 model s. Any idea if this is a temporary situation and what can be done to fix it?

I think this is intentional. It sounds like it's sounding on the door pocket speakers only, which might be more comfortable for those in the back. It also helps distinguish it from music, IMO.

I just had the update, and the change in navigation audio, as well. I hate it. Sounds muffled and unclear.

Should I contact service?

I've just found this thread, I have the same problem, what's worse is the indicator ticking seems to no longer be working or be REALLY quiet on the centre speaker. I've raised a service request to see if they have an answer.

Radio and Bluetooth seem unaffected.

Mine used to come from the speakers around the driver so it was less disturbing for the passengers, now it is just one speaker and not loud enough

Interesting, mine is the other way up, sounds like it is coming from the centre of the windscreen

We noticed this today - I personally thinks it’s a fantastic improvement. Separating the navigation from the music is one of the most logical things to be updated for a long time

I really like this update - new service mode toys too. I hope they keep adding them……especially for louvre calibration (hint hint if anyone from Tesla is reading)

Different car, but I have the same issue with the same software version here. As I'm running a sound upgrade, the nav audio's useless.

Just had this update and the voice went to the center speaker only. It is lacking the sound quality it used to have and sounds like a radio from the 70s. Hope they add a setting to let user select the old way.

Got this update too. Dislike. Better coming out of all speakers and not the front speaker.
