    Default Rear Radio Control

    I am probably missing something, but playing with PE528 in the garage today (got it last night and it has rained all day today!), I discovered that the rear seat radio control will change the station (FM) but not adjust the volume at all. The front control changed the volume of both sets of speakers. Any one else notice this?
    Thanks

    I thought the same thing but have been told (and found it in the manual DOH!) that it only adjusts the volume of the passengers headset when the CB/Comms package is installed.

    So in other words it is pretty much useless, except to make the driver nuts when the passenger keeps changing the station? Why advertise a feature as standard that only works for an optional feature. Bad move, BRP!

    Thanks for helping keep me from reading the directions. I suppose it makes perfect sense but like Scotty says, the aft radio control probably should not do ANYthing unless there was a headset hooked up. I order one to see how it goes. If the admiral decides to ride with me on a regular basis, I am sure she will find a second one quick.

    We had a great day today with the temps making it into the low fifties so I did get my first decent ride today.
