Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Set (adjustable volume)' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Set (adjustable volume)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

If the right rotary control/push button is pressed, "Setting GAL" is called up.

This setting is saved in dependance to the set user.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
However, once into the USER setting and I press the MENU botton repeatedly (per the instructions) it goes immediately out of USER mode and back to normal audio mode.
For those who still have the OEM radio and can't stand the speed controlled volume feature, all you need to do is cut the speed control wire (gray/pink) on the main radio harness. You can verify this on the radio's wiring chart, which should be affixed to the unit itself.
Removing the radio takes special keys. Mine came with the car, but any radio shop shop be able to pull the radio out for you or sell you the keys.
Just cut and tape off the ends of the wire and VOILA...the radio's volume will not fluctuate with the speed of the car.
With the keys it's a two minute job.
Roger that, Joe.
By the way, here's the
instruction manual for the DCR-220
. You'll need Adobe Reader to view it. Page 26 has the GAL setting (adjustable volume), but to adjust this, you need to enter the user menu (page 25). Good luck.
I have an '04 with CDR-23. I received only the Quick Reference Guide with the car but I was able to download the Adobe version of the CDR-23 Manual. However, when I attempt to access the GAL setting this option does not appear. I have the BOSE option and I believe that qualifies as a "sound package" which, I believe, means I can not access GAL.
There is a comment in the manual pn page 18
If the right rotary control/push button is pressed, "Setting GAL" is called up.
If a Porsche sound package is present
, "Setting DRIVER" is called up.
On page 19, the GAL setting is covered. However, once into the USER setting and I press the MENU botton repeatedly (per the instructions) it goes immediately out of USER mode and back to normal audio mode. Additionally the top paragraph in the center section on page 19 states
This setting is saved in dependance to the set user.
This setting may only be made if no sound package is connected
. To switch the GAL function on or off, see "Speed dependant volume control (GAL)" on page 6.
Consequently, I guess those of us that that have CDR-23 with a "sound package" (Bose or ???) can not access GAL. WTF???
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
