My Toyota does the worst of both worlds -- the audio portion comes up immediately, with whatever volume setting it had when it was shut off.
The volume knob doesn't respond until about 8 seconds later.
I'm sure you can imagine situations (like in a driveway such as mine, where the neighbor's bedroom window directly overlooks it) where what was appropriate at 3pm when I got home, is not appropriate at 3am next time I start the car...
- can16358p 5y agoIt's amazing how designers of these vehicles can't think of these simple things. Being able to lower the volume should be immediate, and it should be obvious in their testings... If they ever tested infotainment systems of course.
- CamperBob2 5y agoA lot of this makes sense when you realize that modern cars are designed by engineers who take a bus to work.
- can16358p 5y agoThat makes sense. Though wish it wasn't the case.

- martyvis 5y agoSounds like the same system as in my Subaru. I don't even know how you can design a system to emit audio and and not be volume controllable for like millions of CPU cycles. And you'd think with like about two dozen buttons on the steering wheel, one of them would allow you to mute control the phone mic when your are on a conference call.
- Arrath 5y agoThis is even worse on my Dodge. Like yours, the audio comes in immediately, and the volume knob may or may not work for a time. The bluetooth takes absolutely forever to connect so it defaults to another input, typically FM radio. The bluetooth input also has no volume boost setting so I have the volume turned up quite a bit, thus the radio is loud as hell. All in all, this means that I regret it if I forget to turn the volume down when I get out of the car.
