Finally able to get about and drive after fixing the car yesterday and the long drive to a funeral today I realised that the stereo actually increases / decreases volume with car speed / revs. This is a lovely feature, especially when you are opening up the car for the first time and the tune is good!
Is this standard? My 2000 MV never did this on a CCR2006.. Mind you that never read CD's all that well either..
-
Speed depart volume...? Or whatever it's called. Ncdc's have it as well. Works well IMO.
Not sure which other models have it though.
-
Aaah, it's a nice feature. Only seen it on newer (or aftermarket) units. Would be good to hear when it came in and what other changes the final 02-03 cohort received.
-
My 53 plate MV6 has a 2006.....That's news to me. How does it work?
-
.....number 2 on my list of things to get turned off !
behind the speed-sensitive steering, but fractionally before the auto heater fan control
"to each his own"
-
On a CCR2006 press and hold down the tuner button until it beeps. The display then shows something like "SD VOL +2". Adjust the number by pressing the < or > buttons (from 0 to 5, IIRC). When it displays "SD VOL +0" the auto vol control is switched off. To storre the setting, press and hold Tuner again until it beeps.
-
Not a new feature though.
My 93 Carlton with the Grundig 4870rds had this feature.
-
I find 3 being optimum setting. Depends how noisy your tyres are though. :)
-
Had this feature on the '98 Elite Saloon & the Estate :y
-
Im sure my 98 estate should have it too, but I don't have the code for my CCR2006.....yet.

Facelifts only ;)

All standard Omega stereos have always had SDVC (GM's term for it).
-
First Ive heard of this (other than NCDC20xx), must try it next time I fire up the Omega. When are they going to develop a version which increases volume according to the level of talking from the passenger seat ? :-X ::) ;D
-
As far as I know, from the early/mid 90's all Vauxhall standard headunits all have SDVC.
Mine is set on 2, but for some strange reason, i can hear a static pop when it goes past around 27/28mph and again around 58/59mph and again at around 80/90mph. Maybe its the age of the HU, mine is the old style CDR2005 :y

That is why it is essential to have factory fit stereo, so the steering wheel controls work.

only the pedal on the right works for that purpose. :)
-
both my mini facelift elites (S and V reg) had this , as does my 2001 (Y)mv6
-
I'm pretty sure my facelift ex plod MV6 with a CCR 2005 had it :).

My son's 2001 Vectra Sri 130, daughter's 1998 Corsa Breeze 1.4 and my old 1998 Vectra Sri 2.0 all have/had this feature. Find it quite handy myself.
-
As far as I know, from the early/mid 90's all Vauxhall standard headunits all have SDVC.
I noticed the stereo volume increasing with road speed around the same time as they stopped having mechanical speedo cables.
All Vx's do it, from a Corsa up to Vectra's etc...

Makes a lot of sense, this MV6 was my first FBW Vauxhall with an original stereo, the vectra Y26SE's I had back then already had the cd ripped out.
