LS400 aerial functionality when playing a CD

[Razor61]

On my 95 mk3 LS400 I seem to remember the aerial retracted when playing a CD.
on my current mk4 98 LS400 the aerial does not retract when playing a CD, is this correct or should it do the same as the Mk3 LS400?
it’s not a big problem at all but just wanted to know in case I have another little issue to sort out.

The ariel does not retract when audio mode is present on the mark 4 this is to enable traffic announcements even if you are not listening to the radio.

on my Mk3 ............. why do the traffic announcements suddenly butt in extra loudly  ?  wish they could just be at the normal volume .  it's annoying and means I have to physically turn the volume down just while that's going on

You can alter the volume of the TA on the mark 4 as follows ;TA volume switch is touched for more than 2 seconds TA volume is displayed for 10 seconds during this time the TA volume can be controlled by the power volume knob. I assume the procedure is the same on the mark 3 but on the digital screen.

I think my car might just, a tad, pre-date such a digital ensemble  .  but I'll check it out 

Thank you
