I have a problem with the Infotainment System in my 2019 Chevrolet Impala Premier with Bose 11 Speaker Surround Sound. So far I have not found anyone that can offer a solution. My issue involves the Auto Volume feature which is supposed to automatically adjust the volume based upon the speed of the vehicle and cabin noise. The settings are Off, Low, Low-Med, Medium, Med-High and High. I’ve tried every setting and none work. The only way to adjust the volume is manually. My owner’s manual makes mention of an On/Off setting for the Bose Audio Pilot System that needs to be turned On. However, my Infotainment System doesn’t have such a setting. It only has the above mentioned setting for the Auto Volume feature. One mechanic told me to contact Bose but they referred me back to the dealer. Has anyone else had this problem, or more important, do you have a solution?

 

Well, I don't think a 2003 MINI R50 has an automatic volume feature.

I had such a feature on my Mustang convertible's radio, and can say, it didn't adjust the volume all that much. Matter of fact, if you can't tell it is working, it is working. Its purpose is to subtlety adjust the volume so that what you hear appears to be remain the same, regardless of vehicle speed. And if your newer vehicle (2019) is well sound proofed, there isn't much difference in background noise over the range of normal speeds.

 

Are you trying to install this stereo in some year Mini Cooper?

 

Why’d you post this in a Mini forum?
