    The part of men's brains that are active when they concentrate has a role also when having a conversation or listening. Women's brains have those functions more spread across a couple of areas. Turning down the radio when lost, backing, etc is almost universal in men and not nearly as common in women. Women can focus better on a couple of tasks than men. Men focus like a laser. Women attention focuses more like a flashlight.

    I'm not using a headset. I use the truck stereo to listen to audio from my phone via bluetooth. As soon as I put it into Park or a forward gear the stereo triggers my phone to start playing whether I want it to or not.

    This feature in a team truck would be terrible.

    Anyone got some input on how to disable on an Isuzu NPR XD/HD stock radio? Or even HOW it cuts it off, is it something in the radio, a setting? Or is it a cutoff in the shifter?

    I plow and salt driveways, sometimes hundreds at a time and having the radio cut out every 30 seconds for the length of a slow backup into a driveway gets annoying REALLY fast.
     
    Still undecided and tscottme Thank this.

    So it stops playing from the truck stereo and starts playing from your phone for a bit of time?
    How is that any more annoying than either of them playing through the speakers for a team mate?

    When I first started my mentor would only allow me to have sound from the front left speaker, because that was closest to me, and at a very low volume.
    He liked audio books and would play them all the time at a volume that really bothered me.
    This was 10 years ago, so no bluetooth. He used CD's.

    But audio from speakers will almost always disturb your fellow driver, unless they like what you are playing.

    I can confirm this feature is a real pain in the butt.

    I ended up getting a separate bluetooth receiver that plugs into the aux port on the radio.

    He didn't ask for your permission or opinion on what you deem safe. So dont worry bout why he wants to. Either help if you can or keep self righteous keystrokes to yourself

    I can't stand all these self righteous ####s on this site. I can imagine all them being the saints thst are always in the safety videos. I dont understand why they cant keep their "trucking is life " super duper trucker attitudes to themselves. Everytime i come here if its about lease or something they think might be agaisnt company policy they shat themselves to tell ppl just why they shouldnt do things they dont like or accept. Either help with the actual question being asked, or simply shut up. I'll do shat i want to my truck, and fyi, i can listen to music or talk while backing, driving amd chewing gum. If you focus on wht you r doing and use goal then you shouldn't need to be in a perfectly silent safe bubble to perform a back. Amateurs!!

    Well i will just identify as a woman while backing. What a load of crap. I can do a triple lindy blindside alley dock while listening to dyers eve at max, telling my wife to go ### herself, chew gum and jack off at same time while thinking about all the self righteous, living breathing safety vests that call themselves drivers thst judge instead of help for this sites toxic value
