just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, when I turn the volume up to around 20 and play cds it will decrease in volume then get loud again this will happen through out the cd.

I only have base model stereo in the ute with the 4 standard speakers, just interested if this is just cause the headunit doesnt have enough power to run the speakers, but if it is actually a problem then I will let ford know when it goes in for its 3000km service this week

go into menu, go to P L 'ON'... turn it to OFF

Its power limiter, when the stereo distorts it will turn its self down when power limiter is on. Its not a fault, its just you have your stereo up bloody loud! :lol:

thanks for the info

maybe I should have read my owners manual

20 on the stocko unit isnt that loud just got to wait till I get my new speakers amp and sub put in then it will be to loud

If you turn the PL off then go above 20 it will sound heaps bad though! :D

I dont go above 20 so that should be fine

After putting my new speakers into the doors of my ute, I can now go above 20 and it doesn't sound like crap. Amazing the difference, the original speakers are some of the cheapest speakers I have seen, I was shocked when I pulled them out.
