I had the same issue, I called the guys at Biketronics and a guy walked me through the process to set the AVC. Don't remember his name, but dude was cool and very patient with his explanation.

AVC is set through the head unit. If you're having troubles, call Biketronics and talk to their tech support guys. You can also send them emails on the weekend as they check them periodically knowing that most people install their stuff on the weekends. Not sure with the bowl being on today but you can try.

this was posted by Harleypingman on another thread.... i'm sure the instructions are the same to enable it.

From Biketronics' instructions to diable the AVC: "Start by depressing the left audio switch to middle position (lm?) for about 2 seconds. Now release and wait four seconds - The AVC is now disabled . . ."

The headunit is NOT going to tell you that you are in AVC mode--at least my Sony doesn't. The AVC is built into the Biketronics module. How are you testing to see if it's working? I ask because just reving the engine while parked won't effect AVC. AVC works off the speed of the bike, not rpms.

You have the instructions. If you still have problems, call Biketronics.

I just went thru this about 2 weeks ago. The AVC does not beep or any indication from the head unit. The only way to test is a test ride. Can't do it in the garage. Hope this helps. As stated above its with the biketronics instructions via the left switch.

Hold the volume switch in for two full seconds then press up volume to your desired leval. I push mine up 5 times and I believe it goes up to ten

Gotta ask: Did you test ride the bike after trying to adjust AVC, or did you try to see if it was working by reving the parked bike?
