Audio pilot is useless?

Hey guys,
I've read a jillion threads on this audio pilot feature and people have suggested i put the volume on low and drive on a highway with the window down to hear it work.

I have tried with all sorts of music and volumes ranging from 3 to bloody loud and it just doesn't change at all or sound different.

Am i doing something wrong?
Maybe my headunit is not a BOSE headunit. Can i check this somehow?

Yes.
It is curious because some users swear it does not work and other swear it does. Am i just deaf? Not that I really want to use the Audio Pilot function but the fact that it is there but does not seem to be doing anything at all worries me.

I can't notice any difference either, just crank it up and don't worry about it!

Yes, we know how to use it. Perhaps our volume is already so high it can't adjust it any louder? Crank those Spice Girls right up! I dunno.

I have it off most time. I found I just need to crank it up higher volume - no DETECTABLE wavelength enhancement as per Mazda suggested.

Ya it does work, but I found out you need to be doing some decent speed to notice the effects.

Cheers All

It does work but I've never really found it useful. I almost always have my volume cranked up regardless of what speed I'm doing so yeah :P

Huh, what's this audio pilot thingie?

Just kidding. However, I must say I haven't exactly pored over the audio sections of the manual.

I also find I often turn the stereo off when having a go. My Hymee plays better music.
