How can you turn off the Auto-volume?

BellasBmw · 01-23-2006, 02:01 AM

I find it really annoying that my volume changes depending on the speed im at. I would like it to remain constant so im not always having to turn it up again. How can i do this?

i doubt there is a way to turn it off.

Bella,

Here's a scan of the page in the manual for the radio that answers your question.....

I stand corrected

BellasBmw · 01-23-2006, 03:42 AM

I have the S volume at 6. The sound quality seems better...

rlc · 01-23-2006, 03:47 AM

I believe if you want to turn off the feature you would set S-Volume to 0 or off to keep volume from changing with changes in speed.

my car's idrive has a sensitivity ajustment that works well. not much audible change, unlike my old e46 323.

Thanks Bella, I never new the stereo could do that…I have Idrive so I pulled out the owners manual...pretty cool feature.

i can do it in my 330i w/ idrive... not sure if this is only avail for idrive models, or logic7 models.

You can do it without Idrive. It is very simple, but I forget exactly.

Push the musical note button on the radio dash and its an option under that menu (along with bass, treble, balance, fader, etc.)

Hello Guys
I am newbie to this forum...

I have a 335i Coupe with iDrive, I used to have similar problem with speed
sensitive volume, but I have figured out a setting on the Logic7 system
which controls the sudden volume level jumps.

I will post the exact settings on the fader and equilizer soon

The speed dependent volume cannot be turned off in any of the OEM sound systems, it only can be set to a minimum but still will be some speed adjustment as a way to overcome increased road noise.

100% true.
You can turn it down but not off.
