AVC disable?

I'm not sure what MBZ calls it, but in other vehicles it was known as AutomaticVolumeControl. It's the software that lowers the stereo volume as the vehicle slows to a stop. I dislike that I'm listening to a good song at my preferred volume choice and the car decides to quiet it at a red light. If I turn it back up , then I have to tone it down as I leave the light. I don't need the car deciding the best volume for my music....I have a wife for that. I haven't found any mention of how to disable it in the owner's manual. Maybe I missed it. I know this is a "first world problem", but it bothers me every time I drive her car. (C43 Cabrio)

You can try to toggle "Automatic Volume Adjustment". It changes volume level differences between media types or songs, but I'm not sure if it affects the speed sensitivity.

Go to system settings (cog icon) on the bottom left of the Command system and there should be a list of roughly 10 settings with that control near the bottom of the list.

edit: I just realized you are on the Updated Command system, in that case try to look for the sound settings under the media tab.

We looked at the sound settings and weren't able to find an option that deactivates the AVC.
