Or does the sound stay the same? Be aware you > can set the sound dependent volume to 3 sensitivity settings... To answer both questions: The sound volume level stays the same i.e. it doesn't get quieter when the car slows down and doesn't get louder as the car goes faster. I have been through the settings and yes I know there are 3 sensitivity settings, Low, Medium and High. I have tried all 3 but still no difference. Do either of you have this system in your cars? If so, does it work on yours?
