i have a 06 ultra - i plug my mp3 player into the port of the radio aux port and when i go to use it i must have the volumn all the way up on the player in order to hear it thru the speakers. has anyone else has a similar problem?

 

Are you adjusting the volume output on the bike?

 

i have an ipod and have it about 80% volume. sounds fine

 

Make sure the volume is up on the MP3 player before you plug it in. I have to adjust the volume on my IPOD shuffle every time after I sync it.

 

Yes I have to do the same with my 08. Then I adjust with the volume control on the radio. It works fine like that.

 

same here max on the ipod is just a litte weaker than on the radio or cd.

 

You will find that any device played through any AUX port will behave the same. The lower volume is also true for car radios with AUX ports. If the volume is too low even with both the device and radio volumes turned up, then you can add an amplifier, either passive or powered.

 

I use an Ipod with mine as well but I have a Hog Tunes amp and speakers so there is no need to jack up the volume any more than usual.

 

thanks for all the imput...it helps alot

 

that is a common thing for a lot of MP3 players, especially if you are using a line from the headphone jack to the radio....it is the same way in my truck and bpth cars
