What is the auto volume button for on our radio?

What is the auto volume button for on our radio? (off, low, med and high) I don’t hear any differences.

Check your owners manual ... but basically it's a feature that automatically raises the volume level as you drive to overcome road noise, etc. The different settings are for how much you want the volume to change to suit your listening pleasure

Thats what it is.

Pretty cool feature. I have noticed sometimes I have to turn the volume back down once I get on the highway. Maybe mine's on high.

Only thing I dont like about it is comming to a stop after highway travel... it gets to low LOL!

[jedi3]

thanks thats what someone told me

it works pretty well but not perfectly.

one of my old pioneer headunits had a similar feature, but it changed the volume based on surrounding noise not speed and it worked awesome. i still love the SCV or Auto Volume or whatever GM is calling it now though. it is nice for highway trips.

Yeah it's nice to have, but not perfect. But I like it so I leave it on max and adjust the volume when I have to. Really nice on the highways.

My gf uses it in her Trailblazer, but i have never used it, it gets to low for me when the vehicle stops.

while you're driving on the highway, press the button, and you'll hear the radio get softer and louder as it cycles from low to high.

Funny story about those...one of my friends had a '01 alero, and it had this feature (known as SCV at the time), and she went on a road trip with one of her friends. They both noticed the volume changing and stuff, and well I guess she took it to her dealer to figure out what was wrong with it. They couldn't figure it out (idiots).

One time I'm with her in the car and it happens, and she was complaining about it...I just stared at her for like 10 seconds and just pressed the button and her jaw dropped cause she felt like a big idiot.

Maybe its not that funny...but I think so.

Don't use it, annoying to me....

^ agree, I just leave it turned off and use the steering wheel controls when needed ... but my wife absolutely loves this feature in her Impala

[blkGTPcoupe]

i love it...i think i have it set on medium and the only speed i ever notice it at is 40mph and that's usually only when i'm waiting for it...no passengers have ever actually said anything about it
