AUX adapter with low volume

sun · 12-29-2008, 12:24 PM

Posted this on the M3 forum, but maybe someone here can help me out.

I just picked up an e92 M3 non I-Drive. I don't have the 6FL option so I'm using an iPhone with the AUX plug. I am experiencing really low volume on just the AUX mode and was curious if I'm doing something wrong. I used the exact same setup on my 2006 330i and it worked perfectly fine. I'm using a Monster cable adapter that has a dock connector, so I am not using the headphone jack.

Does anyone else experience this? I tried the cable in another car and it works fine there. I also tried a different iPod and its the same result. I have to turn up the volume 2-3 times higher in AUX mode and it still doesn't sound very good. When I switch it to another mode, the volume will stay in the elevated mode.

Yup, there's an option you can get to through your radio to have the aux jack volume higher or lower then the radio volume.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't see anything in there before, but I'll take a look again tonight.
