PDC Volume Pre LCI

J Dub · 07-29-2013, 12:30 PM

MSport 320d 2007
Pro head unit and BT no Idrive
I have searched yet found no answer.

My rear PDC volume level can this be turned up at all? (I know its adjustable in the LCI) to me it seems really quite and I am slightly hard of hearing so this maybe way that its just within the range where my hearing is really naff, yet I really struggle to hear it. Open to suggestions?

Thank you in advance

whilst the radio is on, press the sound adjustment button, the one with a treble clef symbol, the level adjuster comes up there with bass , treble, balance etc

thanks for the reply, yes it does, yet nothing for the PDC on mine, I know on later ones it does, in my E46 it was nice and loud and I could hear it, yet the E90 i really do struggle, I may ask at my dealers when i am there next

Errrm, easy....

Pre or post LCI for all sounds, just turn the volume knob whilst the sound you want to adjust is actually sounding.....

I.e. Get the PDC beeping i.e. close up to a wall, then turn the volume dial up/down whilst PDC is beeping, this will adjust the PDC beep.

Works for seatbelt and fuel bongs etc, phone ringing volume, phone in-call volume, PDC bongs, door open bongs etc etc...

Really that simple? then it will hold it at that volume level as default? I so am going to try this and thank you

doughboy · 08-02-2013, 06:39 AM

Yup, I must be simple too then..

Digitalize · 08-02-2013, 11:55 AM

If it's that simple I have to do it, I can barely hear it with music on.

Same principle for Sat Nav voice instructions too if you have Nav...

Dan-danGT · 08-02-2013, 02:47 PM

I have learned something new today, I figured out how to do the nav. Never realised it did all them other bits aswell! Good old bmw lol

J Dub · 08-02-2013, 03:49 PM

Well i tried it and it didnt work for me, anyone else? as I am really struggling with this.

kev335i · 08-02-2013, 06:10 PM

Do you have a coding cable? Might be something you can do with ncs. Just a guess though as I have never even looked at that. I believe you can code them lower for after audio upgrades so I would imagine you can code them louder too.

J Dub · 08-03-2013, 04:02 AM

Nope no coding cable, I wonder if any of the coders here know if anything can be done as then its a route I would follow.
Have to say I am glad now I have posted this that I am not the only one who struggles a bit to hear it.

or in fact its in for warrenty work so may have a word as they owe me lol

vtwin_man · 08-03-2013, 10:04 AM

I've always thought the volume was too low, so tried simply turning the volume up - via the Pro radio - whilst the bong was going off .... and it worked. Mine's a pre LCI E92.

J Dub · 08-03-2013, 02:06 PM

see mine has not changed the volume up or down, how odd :s

Digitalize · 08-03-2013, 05:55 PM

Mine also didn't affect the volume, tried radio on, radio off, zip, nada.
