Car Stereo

Good Evening, I went to afternoon service today and i played a cd while i was on the long trip. Every time i press the brakes it will lower the sound on the stereo and when i accelerate it will turn resume to normal. If anybody knows anything about this please explain this situation to me.

RE: Car Stereo

Mine does that too. It drives me nuts.I think its a feature that is supposed to compensate for the engine noise when youre accelerating. I hate it. Maybe the techs can tell me if Im right and if theres a way to turn it off.

Its a "luxury" feature, where the volume actually gets higher when you pass 30mph. its called speed sensitive volume control.

You can turn the feature off...Look in the owners manual...I think it is in the menu where you set the time.

RE: Car Stereo

I forget what you hold, but there is a way to turn it off/on. There's an adjustable level for it also.

RE: Car Stereo

i forget the button you hold as well. it is called AVC i think.... i like having it on. the volume changes at 30mph, 60mph, 90mph, and i think every 30 or so after that (don't know for sure, never went over a 100) i like it because i know how fast i am going with out looking at the speedo. Yup, i get that lazy. lol
