Stereo in reverse

I noticed that I cannot turn the sound down on my stereo, or even mute it when in reverse. Kind of distracting having stereo blasting at level I had it at when I parked it and not be able to turn it down until I back out of garage.

Any suggestions?

Mute with the phone \ button, the + and - buttons also work, all on the steering wheel.

Stereo controls on the console will not work while car is in reverse, use the steering wheel controls or turn it down before you turn it off last time 'round.

Take it out of reverse and adjust the volume.

My 2015 let's me adjust the volume while in reverse, with both the steering wheel controls and the **** on the dash.

Lucky guy! Will see if I can set it to turn down at startup.

Not the same thing, but similar.

When I forget to grab my sunglasses from the dash cubby before backing out of the garage, I just hit the brake, pop it out of reverse long enough to drop the screen and retrieve my shades, then back in reverse.
