Default Auto Volume Issue

2017 FLHXS I have read some posts about auto volume control problems but didn't find any good answers, I played with settings up and down. My system was updated before I bought the bike couple weeks ago, according to dealer. When riding, the volume seems to drop (maybe) instead of increase and when I slow down it seems to get louder, when i kill the engine, the volume spikes up. At the least it just doesn't work worth a damn. Not sure what's up, poor engineering? Little disappointing.

Enjoy the new bike.

Sounds like you don't have the Auto Vol Control on.

Most get tired of it and just turn it off.
