am i right by saying that the stereo gets louder or boosts certain frequencies when it detects road noise, i read it somewhere but not sure whether its true, ive noticed it happen but it could be a placebo
 
Tis true. A mate of mine confirmed this the other day. The standard stereo increases in volume with the speed. Not sure if it only on specific models though.

Hi,

You know fiat its probably not a feature but a fault!
I can't belive that it 'detects' road noise.

Regards,

i know more expensive cars have done this for a while but I am suprised that the bravo does it!
 
road noise???

it does do this ( gets louder - and conversely quieter when slowing ) - but i suspect its linked to the" revs over time" rather than "road noise"
 
Re: road noise???

There is a feature that you can switch on or off that will automatically adjust the volume for you. I leave mine off because sometimes when you slow right down or stop a lights the volume will drop right down a little to low for my liking.

The top of the range Harley Davidson motorcycles also have this feature, and it is indeed linked to the speedo, faster you go, louder it plays
 
Re: Re: Re: road noise???

It definately does. There is a setting in the menu, where you put in a factor that increases the volume, compared to speed. It was a while ago, but after a little experimentation i settled on 22 (I think).

What Model Stereos do you have? I mean i assume your talking about Fiats Standard fit radio. What model radio does the sound increase and decrease from the engine noise.
