Default Auto volume problem

Installed chrome lowers last weekend.I did remove the fairing and the ignition switch but changed no wiring . All went well but now my auto volume control is working in reverse. Higher rpm's and the volume on radio goes down. Also i think the volume control on the left grip has reversed. I have an aftermarket stereo and biketronics adapter. Anyone have any thoughts on the cause.
Thanks

Hi,

This type problem can usually be traced to some sort of ground or power issue. Usually when the radio ground wire gets disturbed. If you want to give me a call 9-5 pacific time we can figure it out. Or if you would like PM me your number and a good time to call during our biz hours and I will contact you to get this fixed.

Bill

if you brought your battery voltage down too low while working on your bike it could have sent the BT module into a frenzy. Simply unplug it for a couple of minutes and plug it back in.

You don't mention what bike, what BT module, or what radio. If there are selector switches in play here for your particular head unit, sure you didn't accidentally bump something?
