Abstract
An automobile audio system for an automobile includes an audio processing unit, a set of external microphones to record external sound and a set of internal loudspeakers to internally reproduce audio. Furthermore, the automobile audio system includes a transmission switching mechanism. The transmission switching mechanism is manually configurable between at least two manual transmission configurations including a manually activated configuration wherein the set of external microphones is communicatively coupled to the set of internal loudspeakers such that the external sound is reproducible by at least a subset of the set of internal loudspeakers and a manually deactivated configuration wherein the set of external microphones is communicatively decoupled to the set of internal loudspeakers.
