Default Ringer Volume

Our '11 RX, no nav, has a startling ringer volume when a call comes in. The caller's voice is normal, but the ring-in is alarming. Does anyone know if this is a function of the iPhone's ringer volume, or a setting within the car. If so, how to adjust just the ringer volume. Thanks.

Using the voice commands, it should be "Setup", "System Setup" & "Initialize". The manual shows ring tone volume can be changed using "initialize". There's quite a few things that can be changed as well. There's a list on page 388.

offroad200, Tried your voice commands. Got a warning that said "Initialize" would wipe out all pairings of all phones and would have to start over. I opted to leave things as they were. No changes. Thanks anyway. I can live with the loud ring. Ray A.

What about trying the volume controls on the steering wheel while it's ringing (before you answer it)?
