Default Bluetooth volume extremely low

Hi everyone. Still having issues with connectivity with iPhone 6&6+ however we've a
So noticed that the BT volume seems to be extremely low. We have to turn the volume up to its highest setting to get any appreciable volume out of the system.

I thought it might be the amp or something but all other I put sources are fine.

Any suggestions on this one? Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!

I THINK I read somewhere you can turn off someone on the iPhone and then BT music thru the car would be louder. Sorry for the lack of details.

Did you make sure that the volume on your phone is up/maxed?

Are you saying that the volume on the phone should be all the way up to match car volume in Bluetooth mode?
Is it also true for the connection via enform app like Pandora? I have it coming thru very low as well.

The phone (iPhone at least) will go back to regular volume when it disconnects from the car. Set it once when connected to the car and it will go back to that volume every time you are in the car. Just adjust the desired volume with the car controls. That's how it worked in my IS at least.

It happens on my wife's car, I set up the Bluetooth and no sound was coming out. So I raised the volume on the phone to max and adjust the actual volume of the car speakers using the car system.

I have the same issue. My "resolution" has been plugging it in and using Aux mode.

I might try the other volume suggestion above.

Coming from my Activehybrid 5 I have to say the audio reproduction from the speakers for bluetooth seems very thin in comparison rather than lacking in volume.

Sorry for the late post. I've been away for a few weeks.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help. Turns out we just had to adjust the volume on the phone once connected to BT audio and once we turned it up everything works as it should. Volume is good.

Odd that we had to do that in the NX when it works fine in my other car but maybe the phone has a specific Bt profile for this connection that includes volume.

Anyway, a big thanks for your help!!
