Does the Octavia have any kind of speed sensing as standard which might interfere with an aftermarket headunit?

 

I've got a Pioneer P77mp hooked up to a Rockford Fosgate 500X amp running a set of CDT HD62 components in place of the original front speakers and when I slow down the volume reduces.

 

The headunit has this as a setting but its switched off but its still doing it

As far as I know both the mkI and mkII do have a speed signal fed to the HU. I assume it is can based on the mkII.

any idea if there is a way to turn it off?

 

Had a look in Maxidot and i've got no audio settings in it at all

Based on your profile, so assuming you have a mkII Octy, I think it could be very difficult as the signal is presumably coming via CAN BUS rather than an individual wire.  My knowledge of CAN BUS is rather sketchy, so I can't really help.

I would hazard a guess to say that it is delivered via the CAN-BUS - I can't see any kind of speed or CAN-BUS input on the Pioneer - just looked at the installation manual on the Pioneer Website - so if it has anything it must be an internal function.

 

The manual suggests that the ASL is an internal function and must have a mike to monitor the internal car acoustics for road speed level.

 

Perhaps there is a bug or an update to the FW in your Pioneer ?

 

I'd say TA is your best bet with this one.

The Speed sensing, if you mean Car Speed, I believe it's in the Radio Settings, " Gala " Springs to mind

 

Might be wrong though

AG he has change the head unit his Pioneer doesn't have GALA but its own ASL function  :sun:

Thanks for the replies chaps.

Ive remembered on my connects 2 iso adaptor there is a speed pulse wire. Im wondering if somehow its touched sonething and earthed its self making it work .

Im going to take the headunit out tonight and see if i find anything

Good luck.

i've also emailed connects2 and asked them. Just awaiting on an answer

Is it possible to stop the speed sensing via VCDS? Just wondering if it might be as I no longer have it in maxidot I can't turn it off due to now using the oem headunit

There may be an option in the instrument controller, I don't recall seeing anything in either the CCU or central electrics controller.
