I'm Not Sure I Really Get The Pse Cutout

[navin in KC]

I got my PSE in yesterday and I've tested it out. It was a little tough to put in, so if anyone has any questions, I may be of some help.

For those who don't know, here are the settings:

1) Standard (don't press the button):

Loud: Slower than about 29 mph

Faster than 45 mph

Quiet: between 29 and 45.

2) "Off" (press the dash button and the light turns on)

Quiet at all speeds.

I don't get the fact that it is loud at low speeds. I'm driving down my street and it seems like I'm rattling peoples windows and waking up babies (I exaggerate a bit).

I think I'd like to have two settings

One where it is only loud over, say 35 mph, but I guess 45 would be okay.

The other where it is Loud all of the time, no matter what speed.

I have seen the hacks where you cut the diode and it makes it loud all of the time.

Anybody have any comments? I suppose I am being a little too particular.

It does sound great, on loud setting, though.

If you did not install the speed sensor wire then the cutout at 29 through 35 would not happen. If you go back in and cut the pink wire that will disable the speed cutout.

If you don't want the loud sound at low speeds, then turn the quiet mode on when you leave the house.
