Default Parking Sensors

Just picked up my new WRX today.
Love driving it and the Missus approves (hated my Senator)
One question I have is re the parking sensor volume.
Is it adjustible at all?
I cannot hear them if the radio is on
Anyone help?

Turn down radio when parking ...

Isn't there an option in the head unit to automatically turn the volume down when stopped?
Considering that you generally come to a halt (or close enough to it) before going into reverse, this might be an option worth exploring.

Thanks Soksta
I'll look into it. Checked all the menus I could to see if the sensor volume was adjustible but no luck.
I don't have the radio volume up high anyway but the sensors are barely audible

If you can locate the speaker, there should be a sound adjustment switch on it.

Talk to your dealer.

THey can be adjusted at the control module, but they aren't very loud even at full volume.

Seems the dealer fitted aftermarket sensors rather than genuine
