I forget what car it is, but there's a car radio that has a "max volume on startup" option to avoid this issue.
Why is this feature not standard on everything? If every time my radio defaulted to a medium low volume, and I slowly turn it up then that'd be perfect.
My car has a setting for speed, where you set the volume where you want it when you drive fast.
So I hit 40mph and it's suddenly loud as fuck.
Mind you, I'm approaching my 40s fast now, and I'm wondering if I should set it to a low volume so I can see better when I go fast.
My Chevy has this feature, and I love it. I love blazing my music, but my partners don't really like it loud. It's nice when they get into the car and it's 'loud' when the car starts, rather than deafening.
