ALC (Automatic volume adjustment)
The automatic level control (ALC) is a feature that automatically adjusts audio volume and sound quality according to the vehicle speed. The volume increases in accordance with the increase in vehicle speed, and decreases as vehicle speed decreases.
Bose ® Centerpoint (Automatic surround level adjustment)
Centerpoint ® *3 lets vehicle owners enjoy a Bose ® surround sound experience from their existing CDs, MP3s and satellite radio.
Specifically engineered to meet the unique demands of reproducing surround sound in a vehicle.
Converts stereo signals to multiple channels allowing greater precision when reproducing the sound.
An enhanced algorithm to simultaneously create a wider, more spacious sound field.

Bose ® AudioPilot (Automatic volume adjustment)
When driving, background noise can interfere with enjoying music.
AudioPilot ® *4 noise compensation technology continuously adjusts the music to compensate for background noise and vehicle speed.
It reacts only to sustained noise sources and not intermittent ones, such as speed bumps.
An enhanced DSP algorithm allows faster and more effective compensation for unusual situations, such as driving on a very rough road or at high speeds.
