oldnslo Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi all, on our 08 SE the radio volume has started randomly changing on its own while you are driving down the road. We have the volume control in the sterring wheel and I have confirmed these are not being touched while it is happening. Radio is the JBL with single CD player and Blue tooth option which has never been used. Seems to happen more often when the vehicle is cold. Suspect that the problem is in the remote controls in the steering wheel but don't want to do much digging due to the air bag. TIA Old n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to turn up when you go faster to compensate for wind/road noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the normal ASL function. The volume just randomly changes. Example: volume displays 10, then it climbs to 30+ with little or no speed change. Some times it go back down on its own, some times it will not. A couple of times it has just gone up and down like your kid is playing with the volume control. I suspect taking it to the stealer would be a waste of time since the problem is so random. Does anyone know if there is a system monitoring the radio controls and recording data like on the cars drive train? thanks old n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think you're probably right then...most likely some sort of short somewhere. Wires expand and contract slightly with heat and cold, so that would explain why it happens when it's cold. The fix for it would probably be expensive though. Unless the car is still under the 3 year/36k warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably have their hands full with gas pedal issue. thanks Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, the gas pedal thing is a very quick inspection, not even necessarily a repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
