What I have found is the difference is more noticeable if you set the initial volume when stopped....that gives you the lower setting (as long as it is not blasting). Then as you drive, the volume increases to the 0-7 level you have chosen. All of my past ones with it plus my 08 have worked great....just a pain to get set "just right".

Partly sunny and 80 according to KCCI. We should be up there, I have a wedding to be at in the afternoon, so I'm not getting crazy Friday night.

I just wanted to check with everyone and see if this is normal, or if there's an issue with mine. The speed compensated volume has worked great on the 2011 and the two Explorers that I'm around regularly - but on my new '14, it doesn't seem like it's working at all.
The only difference between the '11 and the '14 is the '11 has the shaker system, while the '14 is a base model. Is there just no compensation on the base model?
I searched on here, but I couldn't find any other threads that covered this.

If you don’t feel this is normal, you should have your dealer check it out. Let me know if you bring it in.
The Speed Compensated Volume adjusts the volume to compensate for
speed and wind noise. You can set the system between off and +7.
Autolock (If Equipped)
The autolock feature will automatically lock all the doors when:
• all the doors are closed,
• the ignition on,
• you shift into any gear putting the vehicle in motion, (for manual
transmission, the parking brake should not be engaged) and
• the vehicle attains a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The autolock feature repeats when:
• any door is opened then closed while the ignition is on and the vehicle
speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or lower, and
• the vehicle attains a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Autounlock (If Equipped)
The autounlock feature will unlock all the doors when:
• the ignition is on, all the doors are closed, and the vehicle has been in
motion at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h);
• the vehicle has then come to a stop and the ignition is switched off or
to accessory; and
• the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being
switched off or to accessory.
Note: The doors will not autounlock if the vehicle has been
electronically locked before the driver door is opened.
Enabling or Disabling Autolock and Autounlock
Note: The autolock and autounlock features can be activated or
deactivated independently of each other:
• through your authorized dealer
• by using the information display.
Before following the activation or deactivation procedures, make sure
that the active anti-theft system is not armed, the ignition is off, and all
vehicle doors are closed.
I hope this helps.

This is exactly right. It's speed compensated volume - the idea is to make the volume seem the same despite the increased background noise at higher speed. You really shouldn't notice the volume changing but you also shouldn't have to manually increase the volume at higher speed. It works much better than GM's version which has a sharp change of volume at 45mph. I only wish it had separate settings for top up versus top down to compensate for the extra noise when driving with the top down.
