More accessible bluetooth audio volume control
Answered
It would be awesome to make the volume control for connected bluetooth devices easier to access & change on the fly:

If I'm in the middle of a ride, to change the volume in my headphones, I have to:
- Hold right button to go to home screen
- Click on apps
- Click on settings
- Scroll down to find bluetooth audio
- Scroll down to volume options
- Turn up volume
- Go back to home screen
- Go back into my ride
I believe this is already a readily accessible feature in Android, it would be great to add just an additional slider in the notifications panel, similar to how screen brightness works currently. If clutter is a worry, we could only show it when bluetooth audio is actively connected.

Hey Kevin,
Thank you for posting your suggestion here! This is definitely a very useful improvement on the volume control feature for the connected Bluetooth devices on the Karoo! We are looking to improve the UX and the UI experience on the Karoo. I have ensured to share your post with the team for their reference.
We hope to bring such as improvements on the Karoo sooner than later :)
Happy Riding!

Not sure I agree, Richard – not every Bluetooth device has a volume control. For example, I use my AirPods Pro while cycling – many true wireless / sport headphones which are meant to be small and lightweight don't have much in the ways of controls.
I think it's pretty reasonable to want to adjust this on the Karoo.

As this is an android based platform, i would love if they gave us the opportunity to place and/or reorganize what we see on the drop down menu. People usually just attack me a call me stupid for this but there are many setting that are annoyingly long to get to and return from, if it doesn't crash in the process.
