The AudioPilot does not seem to be working in my '06 RL. When I open the windows the sound of the system gets drowned out by the road noise, etc. When I access the system setup it says that AP is "ON". I had AP in my '03 CTS and it worked fine.

Is there some kind of diagnostic that you can access by pressing buttons on the system, or any other suggestions to test it?

 

E-mailed Bose. At first told me RL does not have AP, and could I send them info to the contrary. Resent e-mail and they told me to listen to talk radio at stop and then go 55 and turn AP on and off to see if it is working.

 

AP will not drown out noise from an open window.
Its designed to eliminate low frequency noise while the windows are closed, regardless if the music is on or off.

 

I think that you are talking about ANC. The AudioPilot should increase the volume with the increase in speed and noise.

Rexorg, did you test it and what was the result?

 

Not yet, but hopefully soon. I forgot to add that Bose told me AP is only for low volume. If you can't carry on a conversation above the audio level then AP will not work. With $3.29 for premium here in the boondocks I'll wait until I really have to drive the RL. BTW, my wife's '06 Honda Coupe has great SVC and averages 37 mpg.
