You won't miss much while backing up.

Most radio stations are 50% commercials, 45% blah-blah-blah-fake-laugh-blah-blah-blah-fake-laugh-etc and 5% music.

But its not feasible for the car to work out if you ever have any
little kids around and even if it could, doesn't cover the situation
where someone comes to visit with a little kid with them.

What would be a much better approach would be to allow the
radio to back up over what you missed automatically like some
TVs do. Still kill the audio when backing but continue on as if
there had been no quiet period when not backing anymore.

LMAO! Still funny. No, I don't concern myself with trivial problems,
thus, it's not a problem. I know how to choose my battles and missing a
15 or 20 second segment of a radio broadcast isn't a hindered effect on
my life. In fact, I'd categorize this concern as an anxiety issue for
those who fret over trivial issues. What's worse is you trying to alter
property that doesn't belong to you just to satisfy your angst of
missing mere seconds of radio.

Perhaps you need to stop exploring back woods and desert roads or
rent/buy a small vehicle which will allow a small radius to turn around.
Though, it's concerning what your objective is to explore these roads.
But better yet, I think you need help to overcome your anxiety over
trivial issues. Considering the amount of issues you post within this
group, I'm willing to bet the accuracy of your disorder is spot on.

The ones I listen to almost all the time are 80 - 90% serious talk.

True, but I could set it myself.

True.

That would be good. Used to be, when shopping for a car or a lot of
other things, beside looks, there were only 2 or 3 things to consider,
but now the owners manual is 600 pages and different cars work
differently.

Oh yeah, I'll start a new thread about one other thing.

That wouldn't stop you running over a visitors little
kid, or when one is running around in the carpark
after it has escaped from its minder etc.

We've just had one running around on
the pitch during a full football match.

Yeah, I didn't even bother with a test drive when I got the Hyundai
Getz new 13 years ago now and had no regrets with it.

Currently looking for a replacement, mainly to get a fancy
advanced cruise control that is smart enough to get the
speed limit from the database that always up to date and
be able to read road signs for stuff like road repairs etc
and can't even find one that will do that, even with the
expensive end of european cars. Presumably the Tesla
does that but an electric car is no use to me.

> but now the owners manual is 600 pages


And plenty don't even have the manual available
so you can read it before buying the car new and
don't always spell out the detail, particularly on
whether the fancy cruise control uses a speed limit
database. I had to ask volvo if it does and it doesn't.

> and different cars work differently.


Yeah, while ever things get more fancy, there
will be a range of ways of implementing that.

I pay a ridiculous amount of money for SiriusXM for that reason. 99%
music. I don't even know (or care) if the AM/FM works in my car.
