Yes Sirocco, 20 it is on the GT, even says so in the handbook. It remembers the last volume if its under 20, if it was over 20 at switch off then it limits it to 20 inext time you turn on. I've been trying through sheer doggedness to find some switch off routine that might change this, and strangest thing, if I start the car by going rapidly from the first poition on the ignition key straight throught to the start position (turning the engine), the radio starts at the last set volume. If I do anything other than this, such as allowing the key to rest in the iginition position first, even for a split second, then its volume = 20. Turning on the radio manually, or off manually, with or without the engine running, or when the engines stopped with or without the key in the ignition position, all results in 20. If I turn off the engine, but then switch back to ignition position, its 20. So only if I whip the key straight through to start (and I mean whip), do I get the last volume setting, provided I stopped the engine and do not start the radio manually or by turning to ignition in between. Whats happening here? It looks like I'm overcoming some startup signal that detects radio on but engine not running. this logic must originate in the radio itself, as it occurs if ypu switch the radio on and off manually, regardless of the presence and position of the key, and whether the engine is running or not. The radio has a data line a CAN which I think is a Car Area Network (like a LAN), and I thought perhaps that some data is present (or absent as the case may be) on this line which presents the radio with the instruction to go to 20. Any tech heads out there with access to the design logic of these Baupunkt head units? I'm a tecchie myself, so dont spare me jargon. I like the car listing thing by the way. let me see:
