Maybe you know... Maybe you didn't

Radio ON, HOLD down the power button / volume knob for a few sec and you can adjust the sensitivy of the feature..

Kinda nice

have mine set to 7 - volume all the way up - real loud when driving but gets reasonable when stopped - so everyone else in the cars beside me don't have to listen to my music .....

nope not for you any more :N

It basically adjusts the volume depending on your speed. If your on the highway, and come to a stop light it will turn it down for you prob don't need it to be as loud w/ no wind noise etc...

Your factory radio is designed to get louder as you speed up to compensate for the wind noise. Yes, I think it does work with some aftermarket radios (if it has that feature).

Yes, it's always enlightening when you RTFM. I spent a couple of hours reading mine when I first got my car, and I'm glad I did because the car can do so many neat tricks.

I think the switch point is 40mph.
