In my last car when you selected reverse or put the parking sensors on, the volume of the radio/ipod would reduce so that you can hear the beeping noise. Was out today and almost hit a tree because I couldn't hear the parking sensors over the stereo (fortunately I was watching where I was going lol). Is this the way they work or should the stereo volume reduce like it does with the Navigation. On the subject of the Nav system, I have the volume of this right down but it is still very loud - any suggestions?

The way they work on a sport yes. It's crazy tho coz the volume dips on the freelander |

What i don't understand with the pdc is that i park up facing a wall at work and when i come to leave and put it in reverse the front pdc is bleeping like hell even though i'm reversing so now i ignore it and just hope nothing is behind that i can't see So whats the point of that i must admit it keeps you alert.

Is it not a different tone depending on whether it's the front or rear sensors? It was on my jaguar (which had a much better set up for the sensors) I haven't had the RRS long enough yet. 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic, Corris Grey with contrast Santorini Black Panoramic Roof, lunar interior, privacy glass, upgraded Meridian system, cooled 18 way front seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive xenons, large screen wash bottle.

It may well be slightly different but you wouldn't know if it was the front or rear, if your in reverse and you hear a beep then you look twice i guess.

It's a complete different bleeper. The front comes from the front of the car and the rear sensors come from the back of the car. |

Yep, The tone/pitch of the front sensors is completely different to the rear's & I find no problem distinguishing between them. I do however totally agree that the fact that a £50k + car does not reduce the radio volume when the sensors are activated is completely outrageous. We also have a Freelander 2 and if it can do it then I see no reason that this should not have been incorporated into the RRS. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
