Abstract
An apparatus for controlling sound volume for a vehicle includes a steering wheel remote controller and a head unit. The steering wheel remote controller includes a scroll-type button disposed at a portion of a steering wheel and configured to increase or decrease the sound volume depending on a rotational direction of the button. A counter is configured to count the number of volume variation steps due to rotation of the scroll-type button for a predetermined time and generate a volume signal. A communicator is configured to transmit the volume signal to the head unit.
