E90 music mute under hard braking

arctic330i · 01-12-2011, 11:14 PM

This may have been covered before, but I searched no avail.

After nearly missing a huge fox tonight coming home from work I noticed, as I was catching my breath on the side of the road, thinking how my music had muted itself when I initially slammed the brakes.

I was listening to music quite loud, and as soon as I stomped on the brakes it muted. I thought this was an unbelievably awesome function that was very helpful in a situation like this.

Anybody else ever experience this?

You sure you weren't listening to a CD and the sudden braking screwed it up, then after things settled, the CD read fine and resumed?

You pushed on the volume button on the steering wheel?? Did you swerve right at all?

it would a gradual mute, and it wouldn't raise itself back up?

i think the CD rotation motor stopped while having sudden movement to protect the CD from scratching.

It was a CD, that must have been it. Thanks guys! Here I was thinking it was BMW safety

possibly the speed volume...when you go faster it gets louder and vice versa when you slow down, so maybe when you slammed on the brakes it went down rapidly??

Depends on the Speed Volume setup - Theres an adjustment for that

I had the same thing happen to me last night, and didn't realized why until I read this post. I was travelling on a highway, pretty fast, and then came across some emergency vehicles so braked firmly to slow down. At the same time my music stopped. I thought the CD skipped as well at first, then I realized I was listening to radio and not CD. The music came back on after 30 seconds or so. I chalked it up to dead air, but after seeing this post I think that might actually be a plausible feature in the car. Was this a coincidence?

That's awesome, did not know it muted during quick maneuvers

I had this happen to me once. I thought it was my sound system messing up. My music became muted and then slowly returned as I kept driving.

I don't think it was really designed for quick maneuver/safety thing, but more so that your music always seems at the same volume level. For example at 10mph there isn't much road noise. At 70mph you have a little more road noise so it automatically bumps the volume up some to compensate. Then when you slow down again it turns the music down.

Ya, I'm familiar with the speed-sensing volume feature, but in my case it went dead silent. And I was still travelling at 100kph (62mph). The radio was still muted after I went back to my normal speed, and even when the sound came back, it came back all of a sudden.
