Is there anyway to turn the volume down on the 2012 Volvos vorad? There should be a law on how annoying it is.Its even set for 7 seconds instead of 4 seconds from the front vehicle.

wire cutters should fix the volume problem

He said: The flossenhammer is goin round the rigger ragger.
Mongo learn from Gabby Johnson.
 
Used one of these tractors for about 4 months.....bells and whistles drove me nuts and deaf....loved the auto tranny though.
 
One of our drivers griped enough that they turned his down, but I think it had to go to Volvo to do it. So I guess the moral of the story is.. gripe about it. I've never been in one fast enough to actually catch up to anyone. :)

Vorad is now actually called Wingman since Bendix bought it from Meritor. It uses forward-facing doppler radar to detect following distance and time to a possible collission. Old units were supposed to be programmed for no less than 50% volume. Around 2012 there was no volume adjustment possible. newer units since then can be adjusted by some shops or the dealer but I don't remember the specifics.
Newer units also work in conjunction with the braking system to slow the truck down when collission is imminent.
 
I used to drive one that somebody tapped the bumper and knocked the radar aim off...collision alert every time I passed a road sign or bridge...DROVE ME NUTS!!!
 
just be careful when you wash your truck.on the older ones if you got too much water on them or in them from the pressure washer they would quit working.i would almost fall asleep not hearing all that noise.

supposedly from what I hear YNG is reajusting volume in those at the dealer. Volvo did finally figure out how to do this but it took Fedex over a year of B(*&&^%$. See Fedex wants to put there Computer programs in Volvo engines but Volvo won't give up there security access codes and Volvo wants fedex security codes so Fedex wont give theres up either.
