I have a 2012 Camry XLE V6 with the Green Edge JBL sound system. Purchased it back in August 2015. I like everything about the car except one issue I'm having.
I can't tell if the Automatic Sound Levelizer (DSP) works or not. I've been testing it now and then to see if I can tell a difference when it's off or on. The best I've been able to determine so far is that the bass seems to increase slightly when I turn it on while doing about 45-65 MPH. However, I'm not sure if there's actually a difference, or if my mind just wants to believe that there's a difference. And it doesn't seem to matter if I have the surround setting on or off either.
It's a nagging problem for me because my previous car was a 2007 Camry LE, and the ASL worked perfectly. The volume actually adjusted according to my speed and I had the option of changing it to low, mid, high, or off. In the 2012 XLE I'm driving, I only have the option to turn it on or off. Oddly enough, lower trims of the same model have the additional high-low settings.
From the standpoint of sound, the XLE trim feels like a step backwards which isn't a good feeling since I paid the money to own the highest trim.
So, is it just me? Are there other 2012 Camry XLE V6 owner that are having the same issue? Or there something I'm doing wrong? I'M really curious to know before I try to get the dealership to take a look at it.
