Speed sensing radio volume
since my upgrade was done on my car the volume on the radio raises as my speed increases and vice versa as i slow down. has anyone else notice this? i would like to turn this feature off as i like my volume to stay on what i have it on. anyone know how to turn this feature off? no mention of this in the manual...

My problem is no matter what number I select, I can't seem to hear a difference. If I turn it off or on, it seems the same? Confused here. Would this possibly mean that the speed sensors are not working? Or is there some other adjustment needs to be made before it works? Any helps would be appreciated.

Wasn't aware that we had speed sensing volume control -I'll look into it. Keep in mind though that we have HD radio - which means that when the radio plays a HD channel, the volume gets a bit louder and if it losses the HD signal, the same song continues in standard radio but the volume drops.

Unlike every other car I have driven with this "feature" there are no means to adjust or disable the speed/volume feature in the XJ. The XJ is so quiet that I find myself manually adjusting the volume back down when driving then having to turn it back up when stopped.
Failing to allow user adjustment of this feature is one of the engineering omissions that hopefully will be addressed with a future software update. Omissions that software cannot help are the lack of a good place to keep sunglasses and no power port on the dash to plug in a radar detector or other windshield mounted device.

When you first put gear selector into reverse radio will get a lot lower, then return to normal. When I drive it does seem like there is a speed sensor for radio volume but I have asked two different tecs and both say it does not have it. I find that the HD setting makes the radio volume go up and down alot. I have tried to turn HD off but since a software upgrade a few weeks back it keeps switching back to HD no matter how many times I turn it off. Brought it to dealer with other stuff to fix and got the usual from them "worked fine when we had it in here"

Both the B&W 1200W Premium Sound System and the Jaguar 600W Premium Sound System feature "Audyssey MultiEQ" audio equalization and Dynamic Volume Control. This system is not based on engine speed or vehicle speed but rather microphones placed around the cabin. Equalization and volume is adjusted accordingly at every speaker location. The system works in the background; there are no user settings.
Still, the increase in volume can be annoying at times, but as I've experienced, the volume normalizes as soon as what ever the microphones have picked-up (more often than not, road surface noise) is no longer a factor.

I do not have this feature in my car but wish I did. Previous BMWs I've owned had it and I find it very useful. I've had the car in for service twice recently and asked about having this feature enabled, but have been told by the dealer it does not exist.
So for now, I drive with my right fingers on the round v/c knob in the center stack, raising it as speed builds, then lowering it as I slow down. Not very automatic.
