How to keep sound on when backing up.

BTW, the earlier car, the Mazda 2, would pause what I was listening to, even if was live streaming of a USA radio show, iirc, even if I turned off the car or did other purposeful things. So you were sure to hear everything. It even rewound a little bit, so it repeated the words leading up to where I interrupted it. The only thing that undid this was turning off the phone or closing the app.

But the Honda Jazz lets everything keep playing, even a radio connected with bluetooth, but just mutes the sound. From one extreme to the other.

Good point. I asked someone where to get help and they told me to google, but maybe he meant non-Internet googling.

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.

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.

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.

Perhaps that's the reason why you're so uptight.
