Hi all,

I'm driving a Golf MK7 and I looking for two settings which I can't find.

I would like to disable the distance notification I see popping up all the time when I approach another car.
Useless and distracting if you ask me  :cool:

And...
I would like to have the audio volume set to zero (0) when I start the car. Currently the minimum value is 5.
Every time when I enter and start the car the music is playing at this minimum level (5).

Any ideas?


Thanks a lot...

Id like this too as every time I start the car my ipod plays the same bloody song every time, its like I have my own theme music and I now loathe the tune lol

Can you set the maximum volume to 0 in the menus?

Gnasher, You're right.
It should be "the minimum volume" to zero (0), not the maximum.
You have read well ;-)

Minimum volume at startup is 5, I would like to have this set to zero.

For silent music on start up you need to flick back to radio mode and turn the volume down. If you leave the unit on media or cd it automatically resets to minimum 5.

Graham - do you plug your Ipod in when you get into the car? I've noticed when you plug in any media source, it starts playing from the first alphabetic song.

No mate, it lives in the car. Sometimes it will start from the last, then sometimes it will start in a random place but then 9/10 it starts from the same song at letter A

Weird, mine doesn't do that.

Ipod lives in the car, carries on playing where I left it, just like the SD card
