#2 of 77 Convenience package- STEREO ISSUES by yeeeeeman Jun 25, 2006 (9:27 am)
I recently purchased a 2007 black 5door rabbit with convenience package and alloys. Seems like my stereo is having some issues. The volume keeps altering when I'm driving around. I know its not the stereo frequency cause this problem also occurs when I have a cd playing. Has anybody else experienced this problem? If so what did you do to fix it?

Replying to: yeeeeeman (Jun 25, 2006 9:27 am) It sounds like your stereo is set to volume adjusting mode, which will raise the volume as you drive, and lower when you slow down. Not sure how to change it, since I bought the 2 door, which I dont think has that feature. It should be a simple fix in the manual.

From the VW media site, here is a cut-and-paste of the changes for the 07 Rabbit:   • Optional iPod adapter • Audio auxiliary input added • Simplified cruise control actuation • New Rabbit exterior colors – Tornado Red, Candy White, United Gray • Tire Pressure Monitoring System optional Replies to this message: rgarner (Jul 03, 2006 6:50 am) gogirlgo (Jul 04, 2006 12:37 pm) rgarner (Jul 04, 2006 6:20 pm) jpmccormac (Jul 05, 2006 3:52 am)
#5 of 77 IPOD adapter in 2 door Rabbit by rgarner Jul 03, 2006 (6:50 am)
Replying to: cvt (Jun 30, 2006 7:16 pm) I'm another 2 door Rabbit owner. Picked it up last Wednesday. Silver 2 door with the 17" Vision wheels. So far, I can't say enough about this car and the value. It does not drive like a 15k car. I do want to throw out that if anyone in the Triangle or Eastern NC is interested in a new Rabbit, I had the best experience EVER buying a car at Frema VW in Goldsboro. Awesome deal!   I traded in my 03 Civic LX...we'll see if that was a good decision No comparison in the performance, styling, etc., but my Hondas have been good to me in the past.   I wanted to see if anyone with the new 2 door has the IPOD adapter? If so, does it work through the radio like other VW's? Replies to this message: gogirlgo (Jul 04, 2006 12:37 pm) rgarner (Jul 04, 2006 6:20 pm) jpmccormac (Jul 05, 2006 3:52 am)

Replying to: rgarner (Jul 03, 2006 6:50 am) I had the IPOD adapter installed on my 4 door Silver at the dealer on Thursday. My car came with the Satellite Radio option. The cable for connection (charges at same time) is in the glove compartment (so your ipod is out of sight and no messy wires). The ipod is controlled thru the CD and uses the functions and controls of the CD player. Your CD player is not disabled. The info shown on your ipod is not displayed on the radio. (a big disappointment) You will need to set up 5 play lists...CD 6 is a list of all the tracks stored in the ipod. For example, I put all my audio books under CD 1, rock under CD 2...etc. Note: I could not get my play lists to come up by setting them up as CD on my ipod so I set them as A1, A2, A3,A4,A5 to correspond to CD 1, thur CD 5. I did not find the instruction book helpful.. so I may have missed something. I used a cassette adapter in my old car and this is such better sound and ease and safety of use. It was a bit spendy through the dealer $150 for the adapter and $200 to install. They did it in 1 hour. The box comes with instructions. Here is a link to show you how to do it yourself and answer your original question. Hope this is helpful. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2480895 Replies to this message: rgarner (Jul 04, 2006 6:20 pm) jpmccormac (Jul 05, 2006 3:52 am)

Replying to: gogirlgo (Jul 04, 2006 12:37 pm) Thanks gogirlgo. Yeah, the it's a bit pricey, but I want the better sound. I'm tired of my IPOD sounding like a 15 year old tape .   The 4 door comes with a "nicer" stereo, which is why I'm wondering if the stereo on the 2 door provides the same function. I'm sure between someone on here and the dealer I'll be able to find out.

Replying to: gogirlgo (Jul 04, 2006 12:37 pm) Thanks for the info. I think I'll wait for the '07 Rabbit, as the iPod adapter (among other options) will come as a factory installation.
