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]

Crawdaddy · « **Reply #1 on:** August 03, 2006, 06:13:49 AM »

It will, I keep mine at 4. Remember if you pull Maxie Fuse or disconnect the battery, the system will reset to 2.

Boatman · « **Reply #2 on:** August 03, 2006, 10:08:07 AM »

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.

Crawdaddy · « **Reply #3 on:** August 03, 2006, 10:34:34 AM »

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.

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.

Fired00d · « **Reply #13 on:** August 12, 2006, 10:55:08 AM »

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.

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]

And there lies the answer...

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.

RJ749 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2006, 11:46:38 AM »

Mine is by the easy chair in the living room and I scan through it regularly.

geezerglide · « **Reply #21 on:** August 14, 2006, 12:55:29 PM »

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

WFP · « **Reply #22 on:** August 14, 2006, 01:15:35 PM »

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...

/Bill

Boatman · « **Reply #23 on:** August 14, 2006, 05:45:36 PM »

On the 04's and 05's, you have to do as Geezerglide stated.

wilberb · « **Reply #24 on:** August 22, 2006, 09:06:11 AM »

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$$$$$$

Garznhogs · « **Reply #26 on:** August 22, 2006, 06:01:29 PM »

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!

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]

cei600 · « **Reply #29 on:** August 24, 2006, 11:04:49 PM »

[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.

cei600 · « **Reply #30 on:** August 29, 2006, 08:08:28 PM »

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]
