Radio Volume
Hey guys. am i the only that thinks that the lowest volume setting is too intrusive? I brought it up at the dealership and they said that there is nothing that they could possibly do. Supposedly it is normal for a Mercedes. It is so damn annoying, any advice?

A couple of things you can "try" that might help in the MediaMBUX menu - and from the start I don't know if you have standard or Burmester - and if your Dealer did not go thru this with you then shame on them
Standard
1. Media - Sound - Balance/Fader - move focus back to rear - that will take your existing sound profile from front - and move it back where it will be less instrusive
2. Media -Sound - Volume - Automatic Adjustment - radio channels are all different intensities between each other - this "might" take channel you listen too and level down a bit - and might not change it at all - might bring it up a bit - you will have to see ... this will also level out between different different Media sources
Burmester a bit different - Media - Burmester - then Balance and Fader or Volume to Automatic Adjustment or Sound Profiles - see in each if there might be a little help for you.

I have the Burmester (Order Coder 810) Surround System. My "Entertainment Volume" display shows a series of green bars. Each increase or decrease in volume is represented by a change of three bars. When I turn my volume down to the lowest setting (three bars showing), I can just hear the audio with the vehicle sitting still. In motion, if there is any wind or road noise, I am unable to to make out what is playing. I just ran this test using satellite radio as my source. I did not try other sources to see if that made a difference.

There has to be some difference in our systems. In mine, the audio would be completely blanked by a quiet conversation. I am talking the kind of conversation that my wife and I would have when our grandson is sleeping in his car seat in the back of our Lexus. I see that you have a 450. I have a 350. Don't know why that would make a difference but who knows!!!!
