2001 F-150

I have a stock radio in my truck. Whenever I hit my brakes, the volume goes low, but picks up when accelerating. Any suggestions?

Is it the one with the auto volume? My '01 has the auto volume and works similiar. It does not get so low that I cannot hear it and the volume must be set correct to hear it at all levels of outside noise. I like the way mine works. If not the auto volume, them it may have some odd wiring problem.

Push and hold the volume button, the display should change and let you adjust the speed sensitive volume. The higher the number, the more it will vary.

It is a great option but one that may be annoying to some. I myself find it annoying if you have it like almost go silent when at a stop and when accelerating it makes you def.

I found a setting of 3 on the speed sensitive volume control keeps the volume at the same relative sound level from around town to freeway speeds.

Once you get it tuned to your preference I think you'll find other vehicles without it annoying.
