Default Speed Sensitive Radio Volume?

Is there a speed sensitive radio volume on the 2015 A3, that increases radio volume with speed automatically? Haven't found it.

Do you see "GALA" in the sound settings?

I hope not (or at least be able to be turned off). I had it in a past car and it was an annoying feature. It could never get the volume right.

I have GALA in mine (Premium Plus w/Navigation, no B&O) but I haven't really noticed what effect it has. It doesn't seem to visually increase the volume (such that the volume bar appears on the MMI screen), but that doesn't mean it isn't doing anything. The GALA setting is goes from low to high, and mine is about in the middle, so I will try turning it all the way up.

Then you most likely don't have the feature (sorry man)… but most say it's marginal at-best.

I have it turned off.

My car is at the dealer a few days but I think
I found the proper instructions. Stay tuned. And thanks for the replies.

I found it on the B&O as "SDV Plus" I believe... It was cranked up to max and it was driving me nuts so I turned it off. Hasn't bugged me since.

You can see "GALA" at the 19 minute mark of this video.

Mine's the B&O system if that makes a difference. No GALA anywhere. I have the SDVplus but what the heck is that??
