Speed Adjusted Volume? Effective?

dbfree · Jul 24, 2014

First of all, what exactly does it do?

And do you use it? If so is it effective, and what setting do you use? (1, 2 or 3)

Thanks everybody!

Increases volume with speed to counter increased road/wind noise. I set mine at 3.

I used 2 for a while and decided it wasn't enough so I switched to 3. It's really handy going from normal listening on the highway compared to slow in town.

I use 3 as well. Two was okay at first but 3 works much better.

I like the setting when I am on the freeway or when I have the windows open.

I use 3 as well, but that's because I find it has almost no effect. I was driving my father in-law's Chevy van on the weekend and his single setting speed adjust volume had a range of at least double what the KL has at setting no.3.

It works. I have mine set at 2. But I usually adjust the volume manually with the button on the back side of the steering wheel.

I wasn't happy with the overall volume from the system till I set it to 3. Now when I'm all alone and the windows are down, it's almost loud enough to call it "cranked up"

Marginal at best. Doesn't work anywhere near as well as the volume adjust on my wife's old Chevy Cruz.

I don't drive with my windows down so it works fine for me. I set it at 2 because at 3 I notice it jump which annoys me. I'm fine with manual adjustments as needed around the 2 setting.

I don't use it and haven't tried it. If I find I can't hear as well due to road or wind noise, I just turn it up. But most of the time my radio lives at 14 to 16 on SD Card and 16 to 20 on FM or XM depending on channel (comedy isn't as loud as music).

Mine on 2 setting works fine for me.

With the windows up, I prefer it on the 2 setting. Increases the sound as speed increases just right. With windows down, 3 seems like a better choice.

I've never used it. I adjust volume manually. That's the way I've always done it.

I love how everyone has an opinion on this - here's mine

When my dealer walked me through the stereo setup the day I picked up the Jeep - he set it to 1 and commented that "anything over 1 is just a little too much".

A week later - I turned it off completely (mostly because I don't like it adjusting on it's own. If I want it louder I use the steering wheel buttons).
