I can't honestly say for sure if that's whats happening with mine.....I haven't payed that close attentioin to it. What I have noticed is that the music is not as loud as a cd or the radio.....the volume must increased on the radio, if thats because of the way the songs are recorded on the ipod or not, I don't know....haven't had time to see if a person can record the songs at a louder volume on the ipod...

Hogtunes had this advice for Ipod users:

There advice was for "peripheral" audio devices with the above for Ipods.

Many iPod type devices have equalizers, bass boosts, loudness contours, and maximum volume settings etc
built in. It works best to shut all of this off so the unit is flat. We suggest putting the volume of your peripheral
device to around 50% of the way up, and with your factory radios AVC or Automatic volume control off, put
the radio up to as loud as you would typically have it when riding around. Then start raising the volume of your
peripheral device to the point you start hearing some distortion. Put the AVC back where you like it on your
factory radio, and your ready to go. This is a general way to level match. Since each peripheral device has
different features, and different audio settings, you can now mess around a bit by experimenting with your
peripheral devices equalizers etc until you get a sound that works for you.built in. It works best to shut all of this off so the unit is flat. We suggest putting the volume of your peripheral

I have noticed as well that the vocals only come from the right speaker....gonna try the repining of the plug as per the revised instructions....the other thing I've noticed is that the volume isn't as good when using the ipod, maybe switching the 2 pins in the plug will cure that as well.......will repost if it works.

Here's the best combo I've found:
Volume limit... all the way up. Volume all the way up.
EQ set on "Bass Reducer"
Sound Check: Off
AVC on HK Radio: All the way up.
Treble on HK Radio: All the way up.
Bass on HK Radio: Between Mid & Max
This seems to give pretty darn good sound.
Good luck!

Being a Pro audio professional, we use and see ipods used more & more in my industry. Accordingly, have tested the outputs of all / most models of IPODs for distortion and have pretty much concluded that the best overall setting for the volume limit is at about 90%. The "last" 10% has a ton of distortion contained.

Well, I did the pin switch (19 and 31)....WOW, what a difference, the volume is the same as a cd and the radio and the vocals are coming outta both speakers, not just the right side.......Thanks Ferromet for posting that link to the updated instructions.
