Well, "OBD" is On Board Diagnostics, which is an auto industry standard interface for diagnosing problems I think with OBD II. Best I can think of.

Yep,
I just saw it today. I was messing around with the radio with the ignition off and pushing the number 2 and the on button puts it into the mode where it shows you by how many decibels the volume is being currently being boosted based on your driving speed. SVC is speed sensitive volume control and DB is decibels. 0DB means none and 5 DB is max. You can also get there by holding down p.scan and turning the radio on, and then you can adjust it according to the radio's manual pg. 11.
