Mute on MMI - normal behaviour?
Hi all - wonder if someone can check if when muting media or radio (either from the wheel or centre console controls) that the volume returns to a preset level (12) and not the volume which was set before muting?
I have a replacement entertainment ECU and can't remember this happening before but could be wrong. Also cannot see anywhere in settings where this preset volume for media would be adjusted (plenty of other settings though for navigation speech etc).
Thanks.

They could easily change this in a firmware upgrade, it just takes many of us to complain about it.

If the volume is below 12 and you mute and un-mute, the volume will return to what you had. If the volume is above 12 and you mute and un-mute, it will return to 12.
Try it, it's kinda strange.

Thanks - yeah exactly what I get i.e. returns to the previous volume if at 12 or less - if above 12 returns to max volume of 12. Weird and wonder what is so special about the number 12 :-)

In summary:
0 and 1 returns to 2
2 to 12 returns to whatever level it was before muting
13 and above returns to 12
I can't find the logic in this.

At least it is consistent across cars but like you can see no logic in making it this complex - why not just a simple return to the volume selected prior to mute. Anyway at least my unit is not faulty which was the main reason for checking - thanks for taking the time to reply.

What I find most annoying is that you can't get in the car and start the engine without the radio being on. It starts at volume 2 and have to turn it down manually every time.

I wish it would remember "mute" or default to mute, or have that be an option. But this is a sort of work around.
