Radio gets louder the faster I go..

[cableguy]

Anyone know how to change the setting to stop it doing this. Ill have a look in my manual but its at home and ill have another drive home twiddling all the way...

Thanks, Mike.

change it for an aftermarket one! lol!

No seriously mate, it can be done. Its that long since i had my standard one i cant remember, but it can be done!

 

[patty]

lol dangerous!

As the engine revs increase, the alternator runs faster, causing it to generate a higher voltage, which is fed into the radio, causing it to get louder...



Nah, seriously, do something like press "src" on your radio for about 2 secs. It will beep and enter an advanced config screen. I cant remember what the option is called, something like Speed probably. Set it to zero.

 

[Da]

its speed volume or something...

I thought it was a good idea! Get fed up having to turn it down at every set of lights so Im not drawing attention to myself lol

NOISEY ESSEX BOYRACERS!

 

[Lunner]

Ford have a feature in their mondaeo estates where as the background noise increases so does the radio volume

 

[cableguy]

All sorted, thanks guys. You hold down the SRC button and you get the settings menu "SPEED" is now at zero. Fanx

No more twiddling whilst driving, ooo sir

l8r

From memory, you push & hold the "SRC" button and a menu comes up, you alter it in there

LMAO

[Martin_172]

on the newer cd head units you hold the "expert" button

OH MY GOD, this is the answer I have been looking for. Nothing annoyed me more than going down the dual carriageway and the music getting all distorted, then slowing down to come off and the music practicly muting. No more will I have to explain over and over and over!

It increases at 30, 50, 80, 100. errrrr i think not that i was paying any attention

Cheers for this. Ive actually found a way to stop the radio automatically searching after a few seconds when a station goes slightly out of tune! It really bugged me.

Anyone know exactly what the other options do? Rears on + off is self explanatory btw.

 

[Lagerlout]

RTFM

 

[M1TCH]

i thought it was at 20/30, 40, 60, 80.

 

[Martin_172]
