I seems to always be adjusting the volume when I have it turned up alittle. Lowering it at stop lights and raising it in motion. It's exact supposed function.
Text below taken from the 2008 SRX with Nav Manual:
Bose AudioPilot®
AudioPilot®: Your vehicle has the Bose® sound
system, it includes Bose AudioPilot® noise
compensation technology.
To use AudioPilot®:
1. Press the MENU key to enter the menu screen,
then press the MENU key repeatedly until Radio
is selected or touch the Radio screen button.
2. Press the > Automatic Volume Control screen
button to access the AudioPilot® menu.
3. Press the ON screen button.
When on, AudioPilot® continuously adjusts the audio
system equalization, to compensate for background
noise, so that your music always sounds the same at
the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at lower volume settings
where background noise can affect how well you
hear the music being played through your vehicle’s
audio system. At higher volume settings, where
the music is much louder than the background noise,
there may be little or no adjustments by AudioPilot®.
To turn it off, touch the OFF screen button.
For more information on AudioPilot®, visit
www.bose.com/audiopilot.

Hope this helps,
Ed
