Help disabling the radio speed/volume thingy.

[gilligan]

does anyone know how to stop the stereo from turning down as I speed up? U know the automatic radio volume reduction as you speed up Thingy. I believe this is what I am experiencing/suffering from.

It should be in your factory manual.

It mentions the feature but says nothing about how to disable it.

Here is a thread that discusses the Volume limiter...

did either of those threads work for anybody? i'm about to go try it... i have my battery disconnected in hopes that the CEL will go off when it adjusts itself...

Weird... my girlfriend's MINI has the exact opposite feature. It has a setting where you can adjust the amount the volume increases as you increase speed. It works really well. Set the stereo to a comfortable volume while stopped and it turns the volume up to compensate for road/wind noise as you accelerate to cruising speed. Then when you stop for a light the volume goes back down to the initial level.

Never noticed the NB reducing it's volume at speed. I turn it up at speed to compensate for road/wind noise but don't have to readjust repeatedly after a period of time.

tried both the things from both those links... no luck... and nothing in the chilton book gives me any info... i think, though it says it's just for tapes, it might be that dolby button, because it talks about the limiter...
