Streaming BT Volume

YYC Bimmer Driver · 06-18-2018, 09:48 PM

I was hoping to receive some advice regarding BT streaming from my iPhone 7. When streaming music or internet radio, the volume on the streaming audio is significantly lower than the volume on FM or Satellite radio. If I change sources without turning down the volume, the volume from the next audio source is so loud that I fear damaging the speakers.

I've checked the volume on the iPhone and it is set to maximum while streaming. Am I missing something here or is this a software issue? I've gone through all of the Media menus on drive and cannot find anything that will address the volume difference.

Thanks in advance for any advice that you can provide.

It’s been an issue with Bluetooth streaming in BMW for years now. Hopefully someday it will be fixed but nothing has fixed it yet.

My old Toyota did this right. Volume was remember for every input there was. Move from one to the other meant you had it exactly as it was the last time you were there.
