Auto volume adjustment with speed

[BillBot]

My old car had a function that increased the volume automatically as the car speed increased which was very handy. I'm assuming there is no such function on the M3. I cannot find it if there is.

I would have thought it was pretty easy to put in with just a software change (if you are listening Elon)

I've only noticed the volume suppressed when opening the door in our Model S. Maybe cars with the enhanced audio option have speed-sensitive volume?

Seems a surprising omission.

Tesla probably thinks their cars are so quiet that this feature isn't required

I miss it too. It’s been a standard feature on my last few cars, even in a Skoda we had in 1998!

You’d think it would be an easy add using a software update. In my scheme of things it’s much more useful than fart boxes and arcade games...

While we’re updating audio, can I have a few more equaliser channels please

On VAG cars, it's called GALA (Graduated Audio Level Adjustment) and it's been around since about 1995!

Yes - I remember my V-reg (1999) Seat Toledo V5 had it.

Here's another vote for speed sensitive auto volume level. I get tired of having to constantly fiddle with the volume control while driving. Other than that, no complaints!

I agree, that would be great. Now, we just need Elon to scan through the UK section of this forum and ask the developers to add the feature!
