How to Control Audio Volume

R7M/R7X mirrors your phone's screen but cannot control audio volume. Find out how to adjust navigation, music, and call volumes from your paired device.

The RiderNav Display (R7M/R7X) mirrors your phone’s screen, but it cannot control audio volume. Adjust navigation prompts, music, and call volume on your paired phone—not on the display.

How volume control works

Your RiderNav Display mirrors content from your connected smartphone but does not have independent audio control functionality. All volume adjustments for navigation prompts, music playback, and other audio must be performed directly on your paired phone.


Adjusting audio levels

For navigation voice prompts

  • Open your navigation app (Google Maps, Waze, etc.) on your phone

  • Adjust volume using your phone’s volume buttons or in-app settings

For music and media

  • Use your phone’s physical volume buttons during playback

  • Or adjust volume within your music app (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.)

For phone calls

Control call volume using your phone’s volume controls during an active call.


Why can’t I control volume from the display?

The RiderNav Display functions as a secondary screen that wirelessly projects your phone’s interface. Since audio processing happens on your phone (not the display), volume control remains with the source device. This is a standard limitation of screen mirroring technology.


Helmet headset: CarPlay vs Android Auto

How you connect a Bluetooth helmet headset depends on which phone projection you use:

  • CarPlay: Connect the headset to your phone. That is enough.

  • Android Auto: The headset usually needs to stay connected to both the RiderNav Display and the phone.

If Android Auto sound comes from the phone speaker instead of the headset, see Android Auto Audio Not Playing Through Bluetooth Headset for the connection order.


Quick tips

  • Set volume before you ride — adjust navigation and media volume to your preferred levels while stationary.

  • Check app settings — some navigation apps have independent volume controls separate from your phone’s system volume.
