I bought Azera Limited, premium.
Do you know how to use speed sensing speaker volume control?
I tried to find the information in the manual book, but I couldn't find that.

I think that feature is fully automatic requiring no driver input. It was on my ES300. I get a kick out of the rain sensing wipers.

Well 135 days in AZ with no rain so the rain sensing wipers doesn't do me much good here!

What is "speed sensing speaker volume control"?
It may have something to do with drugs, but I'm not entirely sure.
.

.
Or. . .
Maybe when road noise (speed) increases the db level (volume) automatically adjusts higher to compensate and keep the volume at the same "hearing" level as it was at lower speeds. Actually, this makes more sense. When I drive my current car, I always have to increase the volume as the car increases in speed because of road noise. I guess this will be done "automatically" in the Azera.

It is my understanding that the audio system has been calibrated based on the expected road noise levels at increasing speeds and that the sound automatically increases based on those expected increasing noise levels such that the volume stays proportionately the same (in other words...it makes it louder as you go faster, but you don't realize it because the louder sound is offset by louder noise levels of other things.)
There is no control over it; it just happens.

Sounds true enough...just makes me wonder why if we have that we also have to have a button on the steering wheel too.. isn't that a little bit of "overkill"? Gee, I remember when you had to reach over and turn the volume up on the radio knobs...and still couldn't make it loud enough to overcome the various noises of road traveling....of course that was also before A/C so the windows were down adding to the mix..hmmmmm the good ol' days... may they stay gone forever.

Oh I don't know about that. Even in the hot humid midwest summers I rarely use A/C. I love having the windows down and fresh air rushing into the car, even if it is well into the 90's.

I have a 2001 Lincoln Town Car and I can't say that I have to turn up my radio when going 85mph because there is really no noise.
