Has anyone noticed any effect from the auto volume control?
I've tried all the settings (high, medium, low) and don't hear any difference.

The dealer tells me that it should adjust the volume level based on interior noise.

i thought it was based on your mph. and no, i've heard no difference so i just keep it off.

 

i thought it was based on mph too... my dad had it in his old merc... i was able to hear a diff when he had it working in there... it was a 1995 c class... now that car just sort of sucks at life... lol...

 

dealer is an idiot!!! that would mean we should have a mic in our cars, but we dont!

its hooked up to a speed sensor, which means at different speeds it increases based on your setting... set it to HIGH and youll notice a difference

 

It definitely does change with the setting and I agree that it's based on speed.

 

I only notice a slight difference in sound when my speed is at like 30 and i hop on the freeway once i pass 50 i hear a slight increase of volume and my volume is set at like 10

 

What setting do you have it at?

 

If you're talking about the Bose Audiopilot, yes there is a mic. I have a 350z and it is right below the steering wheel column. Here is some more information: http://www.bose.co.uk/product/auto/audio_pilot_tech.asp

 

Thanks for correcting us. I wish some of the expense for this feature would have put into better quality components though.

 

I notice it easily on high so I keep it on medium and its not noticeable unless you go from very high speed to slow quickly

 

i believe its called SVC, speed volume control???

 

that "Audiopilot" only comes on the 350Z, not the G35, but nice try!

 

Set it to "HIGH" while you are running 80mph +, BLARE your stereo, and then come to almost a stop or drop to 25mph or so. You'll hear the difference, Trust me!

 

You definately do not hear a difference on medium, which is where it is by default (if I remember correctly). You have to use high or it does almost nothing.

 

Damn there must be something wrong with the radios that are set to MED on the SVC control and you dont notice a difference. I have mine set @ MED and when I hit about 60mph, I can notice the difference. When I set it to HIGH I can REALLY notice the difference.
