Automatic volume control on radio

Does anyone know of a way to turn off the auto volume control on the radio on a SL500? I find it very annoying in stop and go trafic. I've had other cars with this feature and they had a way to turn it off.

I am confused, what is the auto volume control? What does it do in stop and go traffic?

Way to not be helpful *******.

I don't think there is an option to control the Bose AudioPilot or whatever the heck it's called. It's annoying, but only to an extent.

Never bought a German car for it's electronics

Uhh, what year? The easiest and surest way for any of them is to disconnect the microphone used for sensing interior ambient noise.
