jetrider Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I think I'm missing some critical programming step(s) to get this to work. Any pointers? I clicked on the menu button and scrolled as described in the directions, set it for the lowest and the highest settings and all numbers in between and I still do not notice any difference in the stereo sound when I apply the brakes. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongWind Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) I don't understand your comment about applying the brakes? The brakes don't have anything to do with the speed control volume settings... The speed volume feature basically adjust the volume to compensate for road/wind noise at conditions other than "stop". Depending on the setting, it increases the volume as "other" noise increases. Set correctly, it's pretty seamless - you don't really notice the change. Dont' have the manual in front of me...so I 'm going from memory... Scroll thru the menu to the speed control settings - adjust the setting (I believe it's the volume knob?...) I run the Edge at "3"....as well as my 2007 F150. The higher settings are a little too sensitive IMO - kinda like a 3 year old playing with the knob. I've found setting 3 to be good on both my Edge and truck. Edited June 26, 2010 by StrongWind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetrider Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 My BIL has an explorer with the same option (at least that's what we think) and when driving his truck, if you apply the brakes to slow down, the volume goes down on the stereo...and I like it as a safety app. It evidently was on my previous explorer but I didn't know it. Now I have the edge and I found it on the menu button, but it's not working the way his does. If anyone knows the name of that option (in case we are wrong) please let me know what it's called. I've seen on Google where it's called several variations...audio volume control, stereo volume control, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you speed up the volume increases. When you slow down it decreases. Just hitting the brake won't do it unless you also slow down.
