If your vehicle is equipped with the Bose
Audiopilot digital processor, digital
electronics will continually separate
program material from ambient noise
and modify the programming signal so
that you can enjoy the full musical per-
formance without making any adjust-
ments.
The normal operation of the Bose
Audiopilot could be interpreted as
volume fluctuations, however this is
normal operation.
