My stereo turns itself up, but its awsome: Read on....
I have put this in W211 AMG thread and The audio thread:
Just a quicky... I was out last weekend and was putting my right foot down a little. I noticed when I reached 100+ mph the stereo volume went up. I thought I was mistaken or I had accidently pressed the volume + on the steering wheel. BUT, I was out again today in my E55 2003 and it increased the volume of the stereo twice on two seperate 100+ mph runs. My wife and I were realy surprised that the car does this volume increase when the car growls and snorts at high speeds. I dont often drive at these dangerous speeds and certainly dont recomend anyone else does
I want to know if anyone else has had this happen (you may not have noticed due to the focus needed when driving at high speeds) or have I got a fault that finally is good 
Let me know......

Yup, SDS can deactivate it. Dealer knows how to do it. They charged me .5hr, which was a rip-off since it only took them 5 minutes, but whatever. For $60 I got rid of always having to turn the volume up when I slowed down and down when I sped up. Still worth it.

I took mine to Beverly HIlls Mercedes and they're a bunch of idiots. I told them that it has to be possible and they kept saying it isn't. I told them to hook the computer thingy up to my ca (wtvr that things called) and we spent a little over 20 minutes messing with it. Finally I told him to listen to me and I made a couple of right guesses and theydid it, Didn't charge me though
If they flash your car though it comes back.
IMO it's fun when you're speedintg up, but annoying when you're slowing down.

Thanks CWW, I'll look into it. It's a load of crap, especially when I'm trying to plow through the 55 Freeway in the dead of the night like I'm on the straights at Le Sarthe-- it's like my music is chasing me.

I may be mistaken but I think I remember seeing something in the Engineering Menu about the speed sensitive volume.
I went into the Eng Menu to change the display to AMG upon startup, and also to enable mp3 playback, and while I was in there fooling around, I could have sworn I saw something in regards to this function. I personally like it so I left it.
