Default Boom Head unit

I wanted to see if anyone has figured out how to play your tunes while on enjoying a ride. Then you stop and shut everything down, when I start the bike the next is goes WIDE. Is there anyone who has figured this out?

Sorry, but I don't understand your question.

Yes. I have figured out how to play my tunes while on a ride.

As for my bike going WIDE, I have no fuc*ing clue what that might mean.

My apologies to everyone, I typed that thread the other night after I had taken my sleep meds.
The question is: Has anyone figured out how to set the Boom audio (I have a 14 ultra) to not go wide open ( extremely loud) on start up? I was saying while I am out riding it's generally loud enough where there's no problem with hearing. When I stop, I turn it (head unit) all the way down and it still comes on LOUD!!! Is there anyway (a setting or a hack) to stop going through the accept, wait until the media lights up and then log the Bluetooth to listen to tunes? Is there to get around this without purchasing another aftermarket head unit?

Thank You all in advance

They all do that.

I just click that little button down on the left side and like magic the volume goes down.

I think with aftermarket equipment and a flash you can get ride of that, but I'm not an expert. Yes it can be annoying.

Mine comes back on at the same volume level I shut it off at... everything else may "re-start" on a different screen, than I had it on when I shut it off on, from time to time... but the volume is always the same.
Turn it down before you kill the bike, but it's still going to sound louder anyways when you turn the ignition back on without the motor running.
