S-VOL specifics - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Metro · 04-13-2010, 07:44 PM

Been wondering about this for a while - and before you start, I've searched s vol, s-vol, s volume, etc, and I've

My question is that when you adjust the s-vol setting what exactly are you adjusting? Does it increase/decrease the amount at which it changes the volume with regard to speed or does it change at what speed the volume increases/decreases?

Faster you go, louder the radio gets.

changes the amount of adjustment, not the speed at which it occurs

It is pretty self explanatory. If you increase S vol, then the radio is more sensitive (to increasing volume to compensate for road noise) as your speed increases.

Sorry if I came off the wrong way.

Do you have Professiona HU or iDrive?

I know this is a subjective question, but can anyone give me a feel for how noticeable the volume change should be when set at the lowest setting (1)?

I've read other people say it is barely perceptible at this setting but I have it at this setting and it is very perceptible. I drive with the windows up which I'm sure makes it more noticeable.
