Reverse Sensor Volume when playing music

**snerlo** · 20-01-2015, 08:55 AM

Just a quick one for anyone in the know. Is there a way of either muting or quietening down the music that is being played when the parking sensors start to work. Currently if I am listening to music at a decent sort of volume and activate the parking sensors either by selecting them with the button or engaging reverse, you can't hear the beeping at all and I have to turn the music right down. Anyone know if there is a way to mute the music while the sensors do there thing?
And I don't need any digs about just turning the music down with the knob either. Surely there is a way to do this!! Any cluey people out there??

i know that in the rnd510 on later firmware revisions that it would quieten the music automatically, perhaps there is a setting.

Later cars do it regardless of radio. I think its the OPS cars that do it from memory. My passat has PDC and it does not mute the radio.

mine automatically lowers the music volume when in reverse. maybe something in VCDS?

Mine too. Did with rcd510 and do now with rns510.

Hmm, maybe I need to start looking into a vcds change then!

I have an RNS510. Mine does it automatically, this was activated through VCDS.

On the right side of the screen there is an arrow, click the arrow and it shows a list of icons, one is for the beeps. I didn't have those options on the old firmware, got them after updating the RNS510 FW. (updated to whatever was current in August 2013)
