DNX7120 / DNX8120 Newb Questions!

Hey just installed the DNX7120, a few questions.

1) For the life of me I can't figure out how to turn down volume for the Navi voice, it seems to be on full blast!!

2) When on main navi screen without any directions, it does not show streets names? How can you get this added? Only on "browse map" will I get street names but it's not as easy to follow because it follows the actual North, East, South, West direction.

3) When on navi and minimizing out so you can see more of the map, it blanks out a certain point?? I'm not even minimizing that far out? Funny thing is my other garmin non-kenwood navi unit can minimize out with no problem.

4) For phone bluetooth, whoever is on a call with me, hears me as very distorted and low, the mic is positioned on the b-pillar facing me?

I don't have any other experience with car navi's but I was slightly disappointed, I was hoping the touchscreen would make things as easy as with my iphone but I'm finding you got to hop in and out menus redundantly but maybe i'll get used to it however biggest pet peeve is the navi voice volume on max volume!!

I think the Nav volume is just the same as the reg volume. When you have it on the nav screen use the up and down. When you go back to the radio it should be what it was before you went into the nav. At least I think

I have the bass at mid-point on my 8120 and it's already better (tighter and clearer) than the stock setup ... the 8120 pretty much blows the OEM system outta the water...

The F90bt sounded good too... to bad it was a POS

Are you using the 7550 or 7551??
