Auto Volume

Quailhunter · 08-26-2019, 07:04 AM

My 2019 X5 has been an absolutely pleasing vehicle except for one feature, the auto volume.

I have the speed sensitivity slider all the way to the left (minimal sensitivity) and I am still getting huge volume shifts mostly at highway speeds.

Is there any way to kill this feature?

I was wondering that too. Why is there no obvious option to turn it off? If the function were transparent I could see leaving it on but as you say it’s quite apparent when it’s doing its thing.

I'd also like to know. In addition, it would be nice to disable iDrive from "dimming" the music volume when loud and tapping the display with display clicks enabled. If the touch screen display sound is enabled and music loud, tapping on the display temporarily "dims" or "blips" the music. I like the sound of the display click but have it off because of this. If I have the music loud I don't care about the click / beep.

This is interesting, I have mine set two bars to the right because in the middle I can't tell it adjust at all!!! I actually complain about it not being aggressive enough but then I also have the volume a bit high. Sub'd

I run mine near 75% or more quite often. I always hear it working and have it turned down as far as it will go.
