Feature: Volume drops with door open

brianman said:

I don't recall anyone mentioning this, and it was news to me.

1. Sit in the driver seat.
2. Turn on some music.
3. Set the volume to high (9+).
4. Open on the driver door.
Observe: Volume (actual and UI) drops to about the 2 level.
5. Close the driver door.
Observe: Volume returns to high level (9+).

Me likee.

I find this feature very annoying, and I wish I could turn it off. Sometimes I'm working around the car or on the car cleaning it or something and when I open the door the volume goes down. I wish it would stay the same. I have to go in the car and turn the volume back up. really annoying.

not sure why this feature exists either. It certainly isn't protecting your hearing since as soon as you close the door (with you in it), it goes back up.

Maybe it is to prevent noise pollution outside the car as a courtesy to others???

Yes, it's to prevent blaring your sound outside the car when you open your door.

Sometimes you don't even realize how loud it is until you open your door in a quiet outside area.

Tis is one of my favorite features.

but what if I want to pollute the environment with noise that would make other people turn their heads and look at "me me me me me me me" ??? FAIL. :cursing:
