Speed sensive volume control on the radio
 
Is there a setting that raises the radio volume with increasing speed on a 2013 Lexus ES350?
My GM cars have it, does the Lexus have it? I can't imagine a new car without it. It is a PITA to keep bumping the volume as speed ( and road noise) increase, then having to decrease it as you slow down.

If you have a vehicle with the nav system, hiy the "menu" button, then click either "media" or "radio", then "sound", then "DSP", then "automatic sound levelizer" on. I'm not sure whether setting it for the radio or for media is a universal setting for both the radio and for other media or if you have to set it separately for both the radio and other media.

If your vehicle is not equipped with a nav system, I'm sure that the instructions are in the manual.

I'm not really sure how well the automatic sound levelizer works, but, even if it isn't 100% effective, I don't consider it to be a big deal since the volume up and volume down buttons are within easy reach of the thumb on the steering wheel.

It's important to remember that this feature only adjusts for speed. Other factors such as road noise and type of tires on the car can change the ambient noise level which is not compensated for by the radio.
