for those with the stock head unit (not sure if bose or non-bose matters) but who uses the audioplt on and who uses it off? i dont really get how it works cuz sometimes i dont hear a difference when its on or off....

 

I use it....................it increases the volume automatically based on the noise level that it senses inside the cabin. Maybe yours isn't working, but I can tell when mine is.

 

In my experience it only has a detectable effect at lower volumes. Which makes sense. If I'm listening to music I have it loud enough to drown out everything else so there is no noise to compensate for.

 

Never used it. I think this and all similar features like this in other cars is dumb. If I can notice that it's changing the volume, then it sucks.

 

yeah i usually listen at 17+ but yest i had it at 7 and my bass was insanely loud for 7 so i was kinda curious about the whole feat and just curious to see who uses it

 

I use it. At first I was somewhat disappointed but after having my car for a while I notice that I don't turn my car stereo up entering the highway anymore.

 

I keep it off. Not interested in finding out how it reacts with my aftermarket amp and speakers

 

I turn it off usually because it pisses me off. I turn the volume down to where I want it and then three seconds later it is loud again.

 

off, im in ******* control!

 

I use it! I kinda like how I don't have to turn it up when noise gets loud. Although when I'm driving through a town or city, the stereo is turned off completely, window put down just so I can hear the engine haha

 

Don't think mine works. Maybe I'm just hard of hearing.

 

I find the change in volume when it activates too drastic, keep it off usually. If it rose and lowered gradually I'd probably appreciate it a lot more. Mazda, are you reading this?

 

haha My quote more than 5 years ago.

I stand by what I said.
