Angry interface with nano

Hi Does anyone know why I am having a problem with my Harley interface and using the nano ipod, since Harley installed it I have lost half my volume. When I use the radio or CD it cranks. Before the interface, I used auxillary port and it cranked. I have a tweeter bar and high performance speakers to me with the interface, this should really crank. I have complained to the dealer and they say they have never heard of this problem and that there is nothing wrong.

Have you checked the Maximum Volume Limit in your I-pod

Ipods have an odd function when connected to their interface ... a volume limit is pre-set to a level below distortion, you have no further volume control at the unit itself.

In my van when I use the ipod transmitter/ power supply, all I get is a signal that actually does distort. I can't turn the ipod up or down when it's being linked using it's data connection. If I plug it into the "aux in" or use a cassette conversion I can crank it without it breaking up.

Hope this gives you some idea of where the issue is.

I had to reset the volume on all the songs in my library to 150%. Also, this is one of those areas where bitrates make a difference. I've had some people on here imply I was full of $hit on this one, that it makes no difference what bitrate you use because you can't hear the difference at 70mph, but I beg to differ. Higher bitrates are better.
