Sdvc?

 

Speed dependent volume control. It works fine for me... it's a very gradual and subtle change in volume and sometimes I don't even notice it while driving, and I've decided that that's the way I like it. But everyone is different...

 

Didn't realize I had that in my car

 

I see that as an option, but never knew what it was.

So it increases the volume the faster I drive? Does it actually increase the volume number? ( in park I set it for 15, and when I drive it goes up to 16?)

 

Wow, neat! Is this only on the Limited package?

 

it's on all of them... hahaha, I love your display picture, btw

 

Mine gets louder but I dont think the volume number on the radio changes. Dont like this feature so its turned off.

If they had put some noise dampening material on the car this feature wouldn't be necessary

 

I hear ya. As long as it's not raining on my Elantra ^_^

Actually I forgot I have that feature, which means it must work well. I never have to play with the volume while driving.

My '04 Nissan Quest had the same feature and the sensitivity was adjustable. Pretty cool for gadget freaks, but annoying as h*** when it was set incorrectly and you couldn't remember how to change it. For two years I had to turn the volume down every time I got on the highway.

Just asking. Mine doesn't change at all. In every other car I have owned with it in the car there was a marked increase in the volume as you drove away from a stop sign or light. In this car the music is totally drowned out by the road noise and if I want to hear it I have to turn the volume manually.

 

SDVC not working

Well I see all the other posts but my question is "Did Hyundai forget to install this option on my 2012 Santa Fe Limited"? The volume does not change at all whether I'm going 0 or 80. I have read the manual for all the radio models and see in some of the illustrations a setting for SDVC. The only volume setting I can find is on the NAV screen for guidance volume...nothing for speed dependent volume. I actully prefer this option and have had it on every vehicle I have owned since 2004. Surely Hyundai didn't take a step backward in technology and discontinue the option. Can anyone out there speak to this post?
Thanks

You may also want to post this question in the Santa Fe sub forum since there are other SF users there who will be able to help you through experience.

Sorry that I myself do not know the answer to this.

 

Don't know if this helps, but on the radio screen of your NAV unit, if you go to "SOUND" you will see the on-off "button" for the SDVC. But honestly mine doesnt seem to do anything

 

I have mine turned on and it doesn't change a thing. Womp.

 

Same here. Mine is "on." If it's working, it sure has me fooled. "Thank you for being there and coming to my auditory rescue, steering controls!"

 

SDVC still doesn't work.....

Well, I've had the car for a year now and the SDVC still isn't "working". As one of you has already stated... Thank goodness for the volume controls on the steering wheel!

GGZR1 (PS, the SDVC in my Corvette ZR1 works perfectly & so did the one in my Honda Civic Hybrid!)

 

I can tell it's working by doing the following: Driving on the freeway at a decent speed, ask your passenger to go to the menu and turn off SVDC. Instantly I hear the volume decreasing. Putting it back to MAX increases the volume. So it works, at least on the GT without nav.

Bother your passenger? What happened to multi-tasking? I see people doing it all the time: talking on the phone, picking their nose, combing their hair.

 

Works on mines also. Just don't care about it for the reason it alters the tonal quality as well. Maybe that's how it works besides actually raising the volume.

 

Variable Volume Speed control Does Not work

My 2013 Elantra GT has this option and if it does work it's worth-less. I spoke with the dealership, and they were NOT helpful at all, and this is a very nice option to have.

I'm not happy with Hyundai's electronics in general, particularly wired things happening with the radio and the push-to-talk button intermittent working.

Do you have the navigation option?

I have the regular audio system without nav, and I can tell you SVDC worked when I put it to MAX, it was just fine. The volume number won't change, but you still can hear it.
Now recently my audio system was replaced with a new upgraded one, now SVDC is much more effective, I have to put it to the MIN setting otherwise the music gets too loud when I get moving.

 

Well, there's something else I didn't know about these things!

 

Thanks to the original poster of this thread. I will no longer be adjusting the volume control every few blocks.

 

Speed dependent volume control

I have a 2013 with the tech package and my SDVC does not work. As others said, its an on/off option with no way to adjust it. I just got off the phone with Hyundai and all I got was take it back to the dealer to perform a diagnostic inspection. I just spent 30 minutes at the dealers where we drove around, various speeds, windows up/down etc and neither of us noticed any automatic change to the volume. Now its back to the dealer for a full diagnostic to trouble shoot this.

I have this feature on my Ford Focus and they were smart enough to allow you to adjust the sensitivity of this feature.

 

I don't notice any change in my GT, either. If it's there it's very subtle. Forgot to ask the dealer at my last oil change. Let us know, please, if your dealer says anything helpful.

I've been using my 2013 GLS with the regular sound system in it since 3 weeks now. I do a fair mix of street and open road around everyday and I did have this feature turned on from day one out of the dealer's lot. It's actually the sales rep who showed me this (along with all the other functions, very nice lady they have there!).
At first, set to med level, I could't realy notice a change in the volume but since I put it on MAX level, it really works for me. When i set the volume around 10, I can tel the radio sound gets louder when getting to highway speeds although the raise in volume is very gradual.

Perhaps it depends on the unit itself (model year, navi or regular, BT option or plain).

I like the whole sound package they put in that car from factory actually, just wish I could have the backup camera though. I really dig that feature from my dad's Santa Fe.

Oh well, I guess I'll wait a while and upgrade someday.

 

It work in my 2013 GLS, but not that great. I noticed it does't really adjust the volume until you're nearly stopped. They need to ramp it down more gradually.

I have mine on the medium setting, which is barely noticeable. The high setting is more noticeable, but like I said, their algorithm isn't that great.

 

I wondered if we had this option. I'll try to have my daughter find it next time she's passenger. I really don't mind hitting the volume button on the steering wheel a few times. Now if this would work with the phone! When the car picks up my phone, I have to turn the volume to MAX. That's more than a few taps, though I can push the sound-up button and just hold it in...from 10 to 40(?)

Once I changed those roaring OEM tires to something decent (AND QUIETER) I dropped my cell volume from 22-24 down to a more pleasant 10-12, depending upon road traffic alongside.
