Hi Guys,
My Daughter has an '06 Corsa which the CD player seems to make its own decisions about its volume. When you brake the volume decreases - when you speed up the volume increases!!! Fortunately it doesn't increase much but it can be 'irritating'. The car is still under manufacturers warranty but before I go to the Dealer, I'd like your views as to if its a problem or have we missed something in the manual.

Your help and advice is, as always much appreciated.

You need to go into the settings and alter/disable the Speed Dependant Volume Control.

.... and if it's like my 06 Zafira the volume drops back to a preset level once you switch it off and then switch it on again (usually stupidly quiet) At the same time as you fix the speed dependent volume you can adjust the start up volume as well.
