   That's good too.  I went through the radio's options**, and it didnt'   
   have anything about that, but they could have it hidden for rental cars.   
   I also found and dl'd the 500 page owners manual and I think I looked in   
   it.  (It's on this laptop maybe I'll look again, but the previous car   
   doesn't matter, as long as the next car works like I want.)   
      
   I can tell from being on the computer... When I'm concentrating, I don't   
   hear the radio, so it won't be a problem backing up, any more than it is   
   now.   
      
   **It did have the ability to turn off stay-in-lane warnings.  I had to   
   do that every time i started the car, because some lanes were so narrow   
   and were against walls on one side, and I'd rather straddle two lanes   
   and move over once in a while than drive so close to a wall.
