stock stereo volume / speed question

[potentialowner]

is it just my imagination or does the volume on the stock stereo go up a bit when you speed up and then go quieter when you're slowed down or at an idle? it seems to be doing this and i was wondering if it's just the alternator producing more power at the faster speed or if it's a feature to up the volume a bit because of the engine/road noise. i have a gen 6 camry le

Maybe its the ASL??

[potentialowner]

it must be. i didn't even know about that feature til now.

It is ASL. Automatic Sound Leveling is a feature found in all lexus vehicle and now in the toyota's. You can adjust it by pressing your audio button and going to asl. It can be set to low, mid, high, or off.

Ours is only on/off that I can find... do you have the NAV system?

Seems that the base stereo has high/mid/low while the upgraded radios got simply on/off

I have an se I4 and i thought something was wrong with my radio thinkin i was getting bad reception. it's quite bothersome to me. I hope it's the asl because i want to disable the SOB...LOL

Me personally I can't tell the difference....

I noticed something strange. The radio in my car is louder when switching from ACC position to the ON position? You'd think it would be the reverse?

Thank you for posting this question! I've been wanting to ask about this but I thought for sure you guys would think I was nuts! lol. I didn't realize this was a feature. Is it listed in the manual?
