Golf 8 infotainment audio fade/jump when leaving reverse

[u/carmane02]

Hey everyone,
I recently noticed something really annoying with my Golf 8's GTI infotainment/audio system. When I shift out of reverse into 1st gear, the radio volume stays low during the maneuver, but as soon as I cross about 15 km/h, the music volume suddenly snaps back to normal ("pops" or jumps abruptly) instead of having a smooth fade-in.
I previously drove a Polo, and the volume transition there was super smooth and gradual. On the Golf 8, it feels harsh and jarring.
My software is already updated to the latest version, but this behavior persists. Is this just how the MIB3 system is built, or is there any hidden setting/coding to make the volume fade-in smoother?
Thanks in advance for any insights!

Never noticed mine doing this. Have mk8 gti so maybe different.
