i learned after reading the owners manual that the radio has an automatic radio volume control feature thats adjustable. comes preset at 2 you can raise it to level 4. im going to reset mine and see if it makes it more user friendly-vg [smiley=banana.gif] [smiley=banana.gif]
-
It will, I keep mine at 4. Remember if you pull Maxie Fuse or disconnect the battery, the system will reset to 2.
-
Crawdaddy-Thanks for the heads up on the battery disconnect and the radio resetting to 2.. I just had my battery disconnected and did not reset volume control. With the Hogtunes, I was turning down the volume anyway.
-
Yeah, I never needed it until the Hawg Wired system was added. Isn't that great? I love my radio now, and my satellite input had to be turned down to match up with the CD. Money well spent in my opinion.

Setting a stock radio to 4 is going to make a big difference. I changed myine and it was night and day when on the road.

I'm gonna do the adjust and see how it works.
Bob: Peterson's run: No :(. Just tooo much going on. We've never done that run, seems like we're usually on vacation around mid-Sept... except for this year. Have fun! (like I have to tell you that) [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Did mine, big difference, thanks Van [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]
And don't forget you can do the same on an XM Roady
Do them both and the sound is great. [smiley=banana.gif]

It's funny how some folks study things like owner's manuals as if there was going to be a test, and others never open them at all.

Jerry,
I think I've found another twin brother by a different mother. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] I to am anal about reading manuals. I will read them from cover to cover so I will know how to operate all the functions. My theory is I paid for all the bells and whistles why not know how to operate them. [smiley=nixweiss.gif] On the other hand my wife is the exact opposite she will bring stuff to me to find out how to work it. Wish I could figure out how to get her to read instructions you'll have to give me your secret on getting better half to read them.

Set mines last week, and had the opportunity to ride some today and it was a great improvement. Thanks.

So how do I change the volume to 4? Is this something simple? [smiley=confused5.gif]
-
WOW, thanks people. Just changed mine and it made a tremendous improvement. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I actually have an extra copy located in my "library" just for that reason. I ordered an extra one for the CUSE at least a month before she was delivered so I wouldn't be totally stupid the first time I got on it. I'm still finding things in the manual I didn't know.
-
Mine is by the easy chair in the living room and I scan through it regularly.
-
Loose Goose,
If someone has not answered already it is very simple. If you still have your Owner's Manual.
In the Index go to Premium Sound System, in mine, page 9 in the index. You will see a heading Automatic Volume Control, in my manual it is on page 106 .
If you do not have the manual. Push and hold any two buttons on the front panel, turn switch to Ignition or ACC.
Up comes the first Diagnostic Screen, then
-
On my '06, with the radio on,
Press IN the volume button on the left grip, the display on the radio will change to Fade, Treb, Bass, Vol and AVC (maybe one more I think). Keep pressing the volume button until AVC is highlighted. Then press the volume button up or down to scroll through the AVC choices, 1-4 or is it 0-4...

On the 04's and 05's, you have to do as Geezerglide stated.
-
Thanks Geezerglide! Radio works great. Who knew the owners manual would render such valueable information?
-

I didn't know there was anywhere else to read! In checking the AVC did discover the display button so could darken my radio screen= WOW! I can actually see it now! I have to be careful, this is two ideas from threads this week where the ideas did NOT cost me$$$$$$
-
Rattling the original thread, I set mine to 4, then ended up putting it back to 2. Seems with my bad ears I have it turned up loud already, and the AVC at 4 just ramps it up faster than it did at 2. Found myself getting surprised at fairly low speeds! :o Plus, when I turn my radio waaay up, it starts to cut out, like the radio amp can't handle the HawgWired speakers. Next step will be the HW amp [smiley=nervous.gif]
So, I'm a 2 with a quick thumb. And like Otophile says, the whole thing cost me nothing! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Does anyone have directions on how to adjust the auto volume control they can send or post here

See Geezerglide's post #21 above.

[smiley=confused5.gif]Correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt AVC only determine the volume at a lower speed. You are not actually increasing the maximum volume, only how low the volume goes when you slow down.
-
Well, its been almost a week and no replys. Not even from the stereo GURU Himself, TwoLaneRider. I was curious. Am I wrong about this?

I thought it increased the volume to compensate for ambient noise around scooter. As wind/motor noise got louder the volume would increase to compensate. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
