I was waiting to see If they will come out with a reprograming fix. I dont see how they can fix it because I dont think anyones is working. I have a vert so I would like to get it fixed. This is the only area that went backward from C-5

 

This really doesn't work. In my opinion my C5 worked pretty well. My C6 I don't even consider it has automatic volume control.

 

Not long ago somone posted the bose website that described the technology involved in this system of the radio. It looked like they were splitting the atom. What a joke to find out none of them were working.

 

I had this feature on my 94' and 00' it worked flawlessly not so on the 05'.

 

Eq1, eq2,etc?

 

oh!OO

 

No, the automatic volume control is not completely automatic. You do have to turn it on with the AUTO VOL button (non-Nav). It works as advertised in my 05 C6. It does work based on the background noise in the cabin, not speed. Some radios have just an ON or OFF, others have AUTO MIN, AUTO MAX, and AUTO OFF. Mine has the former.

 

I agree

 

My 05 (non nav) has just an on-off.
Today I played with it again while siting at a stop light. When I turned the auto vol on, the volume went down. When I turned the auto vol off, the volume went up. But when I'm driving, I still have to manualy adjust the volume as cabin/road noise increases or decreases.

 

Mine works almost exactly as well as the voice recognition feature.

 

Mine either. It's a little snowy here today so thought I would test out my Nav system to see if I could burn some MP-3's and get it to play. Well I used Musicmatch version 10.0 and burned about 6 cd's on to the disk. Bingo it played in my Cambridge Soundworks kitchen player and in my Pioneer Elite DVD player. Next went out to my C6 and plopped the disc into my player(urb, born on 26 Jan 05), Whoops, didn't recognize the disc. I think what I will do, is have Mr. Badwrench install a new unit because the automatic volume control doesn't work, then hopefully I'll get a unit which plays MP-3's and a new NAV disc to boot. Hey, it's worth a try, they've already put a bad fuel gauge, faulty top and bad battery in this thing, may as well try to get them to fix the faulty Blose radio.

 

Mine worked from the factory also...it's alot more subtle than chevy's old auto volume controls. I also agree it's based on the amount of noise in the cockpit not necessarily speed.

 

Mine works pretty well. I only have to fiddle with the volume a little. It is a great improvement over the one in the SSR I had, which didn't work at all.

 

O-W-N-E-R-'-S M-A-N-U-A-L

 

Haven't really messed with it - I just turn the **** left or right as needed...

 

It works for me.

 

Took delivery on my 06 DSOM A6 Vert on 2/1 and the AVC would have been a great feature with the top down. However, on my nav radio it appears to work basically backwards. Sitting in the car idling, volume will go up. Travelling down the road volume will go down.

I really love the car, but I defintely seem to have a lot of issues:

Heated Seat buttons do nothing (no lights, no effect)
Traction Control button does nothing (no DIC message, does not activate/deactivate)
Home Link does not transmit (my opening has an indicator for signal reception and nothing shows)
AVC works backwards (as mentioned above)

and a REALLY irritating rattle over my left shoulder as the stereo is playing.

Taking her in this week and we'll see if they actually fix anything. Not hopeful on the AVC. Expect them to tell me that there is nothing wrong.

 

Hmmmm, come to think of it, mine doesn't work either.

 

I don't think mine works either....but i'll be putting in sattelite radio,so who cares!

 

Nor in mine. I thought I was just not hearing the change, but it actually is no different at speed (know what I'm talking about? ), and I -do- turn the auto vol on when sitting in the driveway at no road/wind noise levels, as per manual instructions (2006 manual, 3-80). Should have figured something was wrong when the button only toggles between ON and OFF. The manual says it should cycle through AUTO VOLUME MIN, AUTO VOLUME MED, AUTO VOLUME MAX, and AUTO VOLUME OFF.

On p 3-81, manual says "If your vehicle has the Bose(r) audio system...(blah-blah-blah)", and refers to an "AudioPilot(r)" system, which just has AVOL ON and AVOL OFF, which is exactly what I see on my non-NAV radio display. But 3 paragraphs later, it also says "This button is not available on the radio with the Six-Disc CD."

Guess what? My non-NAV radio has the built-in (non-external) 6-disc player. My build sheet says I have "RDS AM/FM STEREO W/6-DISC IN DASH CD W/MP3 PLAYBACK, BOSE PREMIUM 7 SPEAKER SYSTEM XM SATELLITE RADIO."

So I am confused. This conflicting info is making me think the manual was written in an Asian office. I'm just looking for the "Do not safe to operate vehicle audio system in bathtub."

What are we missing, or do we just go to the dealer and hope they don't say, "No, that's how it's supposed to work"?

Has anyone had this fixed???
