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. Bigdog

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]

[MJZ]

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.

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?

[HWYMAN1]

my secret was to put the owners manual in the bathroom! otherwise i would have never read it cover to cover [smiley=banana.gif] [smiley=banana.gif]

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]

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]

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.
