Possibly the cheapest 996 mod
For those who still have the OEM radio and can't stand the speed controlled volume feature, all you need to do is cut the speed control wire (gray/pink) on the main radio harness. You can verify this on the radio's wiring chart, which should be affixed to the unit itself.
Removing the radio takes special keys. Mine came with the car, but any radio shop shop be able to pull the radio out for you or sell you the keys.
Just cut and tape off the ends of the wire and VOILA...the radio's volume will not fluctuate with the speed of the car.
With the keys it's a two minute job.

By the way, here's the instruction manual for the DCR-220. You'll need Adobe Reader to view it. Page 26 has the GAL setting (adjustable volume), but to adjust this, you need to enter the user menu (page 25). Good luck.
