I think that is how the system is designed. The sound system the A4 I had a few years ago was the same. It is not always a bad thing though - when I get called out in the middle of the night, it stops me waking the neighbours blaring out the tunes!reilsab said:The MMI always puts the sound back to 12 when you switch off, i need to keep turning it up everytime i start the car. Tried to find a way around it but there isn't one.
