JBL AM/FM 6-disc in-dash CD changer

in Toyota
regarding JBL 6 disc changer with 9 speakers provided as option with rav 4 sports.
i want to talk about ASL feature. when i turn it ON or OFF i don't see any difference.
i am using JBL premium player, but same feature is working on JBL base player.
i showed this to our dealer, toyota engineer, and case manager. every accepts that it is not working. when i ask for replacement, they say it is working as designed.
i asked one question, what do you mean by working as designed.
it is designed to increase volume with the speed of the car, when it is not doing then it is not working as designed.
so can you help me in checking this issue.

Also, the sound quality from the dash speakers is not good. The speakers make popping noises sometimes, especially with more "difficult" music, like Radiohead.
Anyone else having similar issues with the JBL Premium 6-Disc, 10-Speaker system (without Nav)?
ASL will feature will work in basic players. which has low/med/high/off settings
if you ask Toyota why ASL not working on premium they will say, you cannot notice the difference and it is working as designed. i filed case but no use.
if you have any luck let me know
I am really disappointed with "Toyota Quality," right now!
Is anyone else having problems with their sound system?? Is there any way for a consumer to "reset" the system without paying the dealer to plug it in??
This is my fourth Toyota and I'm not concerned about Toyota quality. I still own the 1985 4WD Xtra Cab I bought when it was less than 2 years old. I've never had a problem like this with any of my other vehicles and my judgement is reserved until I determine how much it will cost me to fix it.
Toyota may have pushed "Lean Thinking" and "Value Engineering" too far, and made a lot of cars with thinner steel and other compromises 2006+ resulting in the kind of problems we are both having with our car stereos. I know they went so far as to not include a proper cover for the owner's manual in my 2008, and if they are cutting corners there, is it a surprise that they might skimp in other areas, such as the aux in jack? Hopefully all of the issues with braking systems and other quality problems (and people like us sharing stories on forums like this) will help them get back on track.
Good luck with your stereo.
I do think it's poor design to not display something like 'No signal' when the AUX button is pressed and no signal is detected. And don't get me started on the fact that the front passenger cup holder is unusable if the power outlet is being used because of the placement of the power outlet.
