Default Volume On Premium Audio

[Power]

It's been a while since I bought this thing 2005 BA MKII, but I'm sure the sound system is referred to as Premium Audio.

What drives me nuts is that when you start the car, it always goes to a very low volume setting of 3, radio or CD stacker.

Now the obvious answer is just to turn it off, but ffs there must be a 'trick' to have it stay at 0 if I turn the car off at 0 and then start it again?

Cheers.

I'm pretty sure that's how mine is, when I turn it on, it's on what it was when I turned it off

Nah, if the volume level when I turned the car on was what is was when I turned the car off I'd quit my bitchin'.

If I have the volume at 5, 10, 15 or whatever, and turn off the car: When I restart the car it is the same as when I turned it off I.e. 5,10,15.

The thing driving me nuts is that if I have the volume wound down to 0 (or 1,2), when I restart the car it has a volume level increased to 3.

Make sense?

I'm assuming there is some way of changing this behaviour like so many other things such as seat belt reminders and so forth.....

Can't say I've ever noticed that feature...but why is it a problem? You can hardly hear anything on 3 anyway

its probably a default thing, so you know the stereo is actually on, rather than thinking its off because the volume is right down, just an idea

You can if u have a amp installed.

Surely, there has to be a way to fix the default settings? Loud music is the last thing u want especially early in the morning!!

I havent even noticed that it drops back to 3 every time I hope back in the car...

are we talking about premium sound with the large colour screen, or the prestige sound with the smaller green lcd (or both?). Away from home ATM so cant check mine out.

No, the large colour screen - premium.

• Doesn't drop BACK to 3. If you wind the volume to zero and switch off the car, it starts at 3 when you restart the car.
  
• Any higher levels than 3 when you switch off the car, it starts at that higher level - fair enough!
  

I can't remember it being like this when I first had the car (then again, memory fades), but certainly for some time now.

It's no biggie, just one of those anoyances.
