Speed-Sensitive Volume Compensation (SVC)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura CSX, 2007 Acura CSX, and 2006 Acura CSX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Some audio systems are equipped with speed-sensitive volume compensation (SVC). The navigation or audio unit receives the vehicle speed pulse (VSP) from the ECM/PCM. The system processes the speed input and increases the navigation or audio system volume level as the vehicle speed increases to compensate for the various interior noise that occurs at higher speeds. When the vehicle slows down, the volume returns to its normal level. The SVC has four settings: SVC OFF, LOW, MID and HIGH that can be adjusted using the navigation or audio unit. The SVC comes from the factory with the MID set as the default.

To change the audio unit SVC setting, press the "tune folder sound" knob repeatedly until the SVC is displayed. Rotate the knob to adjust the SVC to the desired setting (SVC OFF, LOW, MID, or HIGH)

To change the navigation unit SVC setting, press the AUDIO button, and then select the SOUND icon on the navigation display. Press the navigation display to select the desired setting (OFF, LOW, MID, HIGH)
