    Ok, I may just have been having a 'blonde' moment , but I swear I noticed something odd about my standard Mini stereo tonight. Either that or it may be a genuine feature......

    .... the volume appears to adjust to the speed of the car! As I came off the motorway tonight and slowed down on the approach to a roundabout, the volume of the stereo did seem to drop quite dramatically, and then increased as I accelerated up to 'ahem' the National Speed Limit. Am I imagining this, or does the volume of the stereo really depend on the speed you're driving?
    Because if it does, that's pretty cool..... and if it doesn't, I may just be losing it!

    Yeh the new R56 minis have a stereo that is speed sensitive the faster you go the louder it will get you can set the volume in the menu on the on board computer so it does not change or how loud you want it
