You can just mute it by using the steering wheel button or tapping the volume knob- don't hold it.

Huh? That seems like saying you want six instead of a half dozen.

Well, now I am going to have to try this out in my truck. I normally listen to the radio on at least 10 and probably 25 at highway speeds. I think the scale goes up to 50. But I am thinking I wouldn't even be able to hear it on ONE for the volume. Next time I am in the truck, I will try to remember to check it out and reply back.

Just a thought, but do you have an Amp installed?

Hey sixathome: It is me from the other forum. I didn't realize who I was talking to here. Looking forward to the video though.

Bruce,

Maybe this is 'normal', IDK just seems loud compared to the stock HU volume control. No biggy if that's the way it is, just seems louder in the truck than in the video and to what I'm used to after having the stock system. Here's my lame attempt to make a video :-/

I'll try mine tonight. I can't say I've ever bothered to turn it that low. Depending on the source I have to run mine from say 18-30 for a comfortable volume and for what it's worth I hate loud noise so I rarely have mine blastingvv

sixathome: Here is my video with volume. I hope this helps but I do see where the volume at "1" is definitely audible. I expected to not be able to hear it at all. But I certainly don't think it is loud and even sitting in the truck with doors and windows closed with no noise outside at all, I would comfortably listen to it higher than that, even if I was trying to catch some ZZZZZ's. And I am over 50 and not a music lover....in fact, 98% of my radio listening is talk radio. So, I turn it up to a point I can understand what is being talked about and that is about it.

Video unavailable right now, must need time to publish? I called the number in that post I made and the guy said tap between the t and h of bluetooth to change the setting, so I tapped between the t and h like he said and all it gave me was a amp on/off setting. Since I don't have an amp I left it alone. I don't have a sub either so I didn't have to change anything in that screen either. It must be how it is I guess.

It is working for me right now. I think maybe I posted it too quick....try it again.

That sounds a bit quieter than mine, maybe it's because yours was on XM and mine was regular FM. Going out to try and get another better sounding video.

sixathome: I think it was my camera actually. I tried to describe the sound as best I could.

But as far as the demo mode goes: Here is the link to the instructions on Walt's support web page. you will probably have to log on with the login information that walt gave you with the OGM-1.

Maybe this video will sound better

and this one with VAN HALEN =-)

 

I did these video's with my Ipad so the sound probably isn't great. It's waaaaaaaaay louder in the truck.....I'm 40 and can hear like a bat, haha. Seriously though I have really good hearing and have always worn hearing protection for anything I do that involves loud noise, work, mowing, shooting guns, etc so it's probably just me, no biggy because the OGM1 is a pretty slick system. Funny thing is my hearing isn't so good when my wife is B!#$h-n, lol.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Ac not keeping up

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.

      Ac not keeping up

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I call B.S. when I first moved to Texas my first house would only cool to 80 with the Texas heat. The AC tech said it was normal at 100 degrees outside. I remodeled the house put in a new AC. I could hang meat. My cars may need recirculating to start. Once moving it switches to regular AC and I could hang meat. Living in Texas no one would put up with only 20 degrees difference.

      AC in home or auto only cool down 15-25 degrees from outside temp, but what will help is to put the ac in recirc mode this will recirc the Inside cabin air rather then trying to cool down the outside hot air, I always have mine in recirc mode.

      Found the fix for this.  Untightan the bolt just below top linkage on the steering column, turn assembly left to reduce space between the two linkage rods at the steering column, tighten bolt.  Made a big improvement.
