The dealer can turn it on and off. This is assuming that your radio actually has the feature. The sales brochure for my car says it has it but the radio manual does not and the dealer said mine doesn't. The dealer said most people don't like it anyway. I know that the volume change increments were adjusted over the years to smaller amounts.
