Default Rear speaker volume
Hello all, when I play my radio with the bike not running the stereo is very loud on all 4 speakers. When the engine is running and on a ride the rear speakers are probably 20% of the volume versus when the engine is off. I also notice the avc doesn't work at all. Any ideas would be a help. It's a 2014 ultra limited.

1st u dont want the avc to work. So who cares about that. And obviously the rear sound will decrease when you are riding and thats because as u travel the sound gets pushed away from u in the wind.

The avc always did work and now doesn't. I do realize that the rear volume would decrease when riding but an approximate 80% is not right.

Has the bike been to the dealer recently? If so its probably a software update issue.

No on doing a reset. This has been ongoing long before I did the update.

I'm not as up to date on the Rushmore Infotainment HU as I'd like to be but there are several in here that know them quite well. I am almost certain that you need to perform a reset on the HU. Was really hoping some of the Rushmore guys would've chimed in to help you out by now.
I'm guessing your sound system is completely stock right?
