So how do you get the standard stereo to automatically change the volume when you drive faster? Mine doesn't seem to do that

 

[ChrisUK]

It's just a radio feature. The faster you drive, the louder the radio. I actually miss this feature in the Pioneer - but I can live with it

 

[RobM]

It is possible to turn it off on the standard headunit, so it might just need to be turned on again. Amazingly, the user manual contains information like this. Stupid place to put info though IMO

 

[ChrisUK]

lol - it's as if they put this stuff in there in case you ever needed to know......

 

[InfernalBadger]

Bah, Men don't read manuals!!!

Mine is definitely turned off, doesn't get any louder when I drive faster

 

[RobM]

lol - it's as if they put this stuff in there in case you ever needed to know......

But surely they should know people don't read them?

They should print it somewhere obvious... like the windscreen

Hi guys,

Excellent stereo this after having it a week

Everyone has commented on the clarity, better than speaking in the phone itself lol

Only one thing though, I seem to have lost the functionality where when I go faster, the radio gets louder & vice versa ?

Can I get this back ?

Thanks

Finally got mine, not installed in the Leon as thats now gone, got it installed and mines also not storing the channels so will swap the cables as mentioned, one thing, i can hear people fine on mine, but they can barely hear me, faulty mic maybe? or is there a setting for the mic volume?

Hey ChrisUK ... I was just looking at getting the DEH-P65BT but wondering about your thoughts of the 55BT... i.e. Sound quality and MP3 compatiblity etc?

I was considering the Sony (cheaper) BT HU but it's in blue and it wouldnt match the sexy red glow of the black beauty

Any comments would be appreciated ... Cheers!

yes change red to yellow and as for volume it is level 15 standard but can change it in settings or turn up volume when on phone

 

[bigchrissyg]

Yeah the 65BT seems like a smart piece of kit. I had the impulse urge and headed out to pick one up

I've just finished installing it in my LC. Here's some pics...

The only prob is I cant seem to get 'transfer phonebook' working. Instead it just disconnects from bluetooth

 

[The MoffMeister]

read the manual it is a bit tricky.. lol

 

[Bradmax57]

Here's a few night time pics to show how good the colour match is

hmmmm how did you get the volume and other buttons to glow red, when i press the illumination button it changes the display but the volume and sorrounding buttons are still white........

 

[szd]

Press and hold the illumination button, I think it then beeps, then you can cycle through the different colours.

 

[The MoffMeister]

yes thats the one hold it then choose

 

[Bradmax57]

spot on mate, worked first time cheers!

 

[The MoffMeister]

got the same one its bloody good great colours and good for 240
