Whenever I set my audio controls, ie Voice Guidance volume for nav, or bass and treble settings for bluetooth audio, it always reverts back to the default middle setting when I turn the car off.

Very annoying. With PSE and revs at full bore its hard to hear the nav lady's voice at the middle setting which it constantly reverts to.

Anyone have this issue and know if there's a fix? I have the Bose Audio if that makes a difference.

I think you have to hit the seat memory option for it to remember your settings.

You can link the PCM audio to the speed. I think it is called the SDV setting on sound. Just crank it up to plus 6

Your key memory will remember the settings, make sure to press SET and 3 after you make the changes. Occasionally I grab the the "other" key and get in and all of the settings are different than are set to my key.
