I remeber a post some time ago about having configurable mute functions but I can't seem to find the thread.

Previously, I just had a cellphone installed and I didn't like the fact that it continued playing rather than pausing like my old Kenwood CD changer. So I wanted this functionality.

However, I have just installed a VDO dayton MS5000 navigation system which also has a mute line. With this it mutes every time there is a spoken instruction so I would like the empeg to just decrease volume by a certain amount.

If it could also ramp up again rather than just resume, that would be even better.

Just these 2 scenarios make me think that a configurable setting in emplode would be beneficial to most mute users.


Related to this is automatic speed compensation for the volume. The nav system has a tap to the speedo to measure the number of pulses per second. I don't think it should be too difficult to feed this line into the empeg serial port to allow an auto increase in volume dependant on speed. It seems that most modern cars have electronic speedos, in my case I had to fit a Hunter transducer to the mechanical cable, but this was only £28, delivered. Has this been done before ?

I would love the answers to both of these to be:

Please let it be so..
