How to keep sound on when backing up.
The 2019 Honda with the touchscreen that I am renting turns off the
radio/flashdrive/bluetooth sound whenever I back up. Is t here a way to stop that. If something important is on the radio, I have to park until it is over before I back up or find some place where I can make a U-turn. It's ridiculous. The key to my Mazda 2 was stolen, so the rentacar company gave me a 2019 Honda. This one has a backup camera, which turns off the sound whenever I back up. It doesn't make it easier to back up, and the other car I once drove didn't do that. If it matters, I'll get the model (which is not displayed in the car. Apparently it's a secret, but maybe it's on the outside), but the car is outside (I didn't bring it in with me) so maybe the model doesn't matter. |

You probably have to program the computer to change it, not user options for it. Many cars now restrict the use of radio and navigation while in reverse. |

What's the amount of time you back up...? 15, 30 seconds tops? You're seriously concerned about something important on the radio you need to stop for 30 seconds of backing up? I'd hate to see you when a real crisis arises. |

Do you ever listen to a serious discussion show, or anything other than music? The loss of 20 seconds can distort or cloud everything the person says. > >I'd hate to see you when a real crisis arises. Don't be silly. |

That would probably be okay. > >You probably have to >program the computer to change it, not user options for it. I found the owners manual. It 's 600 pages! It's a Honda Jazz, which is supposed to be the same a Fit. Earlier, I tried to set the time, which was an hour off, an hour, 3 years and one month. I found "Time" but not how to set it. Then connected the phone with bluetooth and the time became correct. Later it was wrong again. > Many cars >now restrict the use of radio and navigation while in reverse. I'm glad I learned about this on a rental car. I will remember to play the radio while test-driving any car I buy in the future. I've only had the car for a week and it's really annoying. Why not ban the radio when going forward too! People spend a lot more time going forward. My 2000 Toyota solara convertible wouldn't let me put the top up or down when the car was going more than about 3 mph. But I found the wire from the body computer to the to the top relay and cut it. Same with 2005 Solara. I've had a power top that I could raise or lower when moving for 50 years. But in any car I could buy, I don't think muting the radio will be controlled by a wire I can cut. According to some newspaper article online, back up cameras have cut by only 10 percent (in cars that have them) the number of times someone backs into a person. |

Most cars have a terrible view out the back. I love the camera in my car. I have a 10,2" screen and gives the back, of course, but also a surround view. Some cars to have crappy small viewing screens and probably are not that good. |

Specially the ones that have avoided killing their little kids who have been run over like that. I actually know one person who managed to do that. > Most cars have a terrible view out the back. Yeah, even when just backing an empty trailer that you can't actually see. > I love the camera in my car. I have a 10,2" screen and gives the back, of > course, but also a surround view. Surprisingly few have a completely integrated set of cameras that automatically show you the front and back corner of the car that is closest to something when parking etc. And which operate as 360 degree dashcams when driving and 360 degree surveillance cameras when parked etc. > Some cars to have crappy small viewing screens and probably are not that > good. |

I have one and also an Eye Sight system which apparently has front and rear emergency braking. Couple of weeks ago backing up in the Walmart parking lot a woman darted in back of my car and a beep went off and car appeared to slow down. It was disconcerting because my wife just happened to call me at the time and the cell phone Blue Toothed to the car also rang. Using my separate GPS in the car for the first time, the radio stopped. I don't know how it knew that the GPS was there but I found that the radio had just turned itself way down and I probably could have used it with the GPS on. Sometimes you can tinker with the cars options to get the behavior that you want. |

You're concerned about 20 second segment you "may" miss due to backing up a car which I'm sure isn't often and you call me silly. LMAO! That's funny. |
