Problem with Speed Sensitive Volume

Hey Guys,

So I'm having problems getting this feature working...I have it set in the settings menu to on at level 4, but it never seems to change the radio volume as I speed up or slow down...how does this feature work? Am I setting it up incorrectly?

Thanks!

Mine is in the middle and it works for me. It usually kicks in when I get around 60mph.

I have it set to 5. It seems very subtle. In the G its not nearly as noticeable as in most other cars I've driven.

So can you actually see the volume settings moving up and down on the display as your speed changes? Does a higher value set mean more volume change or less?

Thanks!

Nope.. You can't see it. In fact, unless you are really listening for it, you prolly wouldn't notice it at all. I'm sure it is working just fine.

Agreed -- this is one of the little oddities about this car -- even with the self-adjusting volume set to 5 (the highest setting), changes are hardly perceptible. Until I hit highway speeds, I really don't notice anything at all.

Mine is set at 4 and i definitely notice the volume change as my speed increases. It takes a few seconds for the change to set in and a few seconds to get back to normal after you slow back down
