Title: Radio playing up
Post by: scarr89 on 13 April 2012, 00:14
Riiiiiiiiiiight, driving along and then suddenly the radio decided to slower get quieter and quieter until almost on mute. I try to turn it back up but I first have to turn it anti clockwise, as if turning it down, before it gets louder. This will happen at least once on any journey...WTF is up with my radio! Really annoying me... :angry:

This happened when my alternator decided to pack in, but im assuming your car is still running so a bit of a pointless reply.  :smiley:

Fear no more my friend this is a feature on your radio known as gala. If you notice, when you speed up the radio will go louder and when you slow down, it will go quieter. Look in your owners manual for how to turn it off, cos I cant remember off hand. You can also adjust the sensitivity of it on a scale of 1 to 10

Ohh right. I'll listen out for that and will traipse through my owner manual. Cheers!
