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

But there haven't been. 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. |

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. |

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. >> and even if it could, doesn't cover the situation where >> someone comes to visit with a little kid with them. > True. >> 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.

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