You can mute the ads by pressing one of the buttons on the side of the screen

Most have disabled that now. I have only found one pump around here that I can still mute. I used to put tape over the speakers to muffle it, but most play out of the screen like a phone now.

Yup, i havent been able to mute in a long time. Tried all the buttons, multiple buttons at once, etc. The worst ones are the ones blasting whatever that stupid “fuel pump show” is that talks about what’s going on in the pop world with “famous” people ive never even heard of, or stupid “life hacks” that arent…
