Got a bud that is having volume issues with his brand new HD iPod interface (2012 SG). It will only come up to maybe 1/3 volume when you have it wide open. If you switch to the radio or disc it will easily rattle the speakers at 3/4 volume. The dealer said all of the 2012's are having this problem.
My advice to him was to take it back to the dealer, have it removed and get a refund.
Anybody else having volume issues with their 2012's?

 

I use my Ipod in my IPhone, and I have found that if my volume on the Iphone is down, then the volume through the stereo is down.

 

Low volume through HDs iPod interface is an ongoing issue.

 

The HD Interface doesn't run through the auxillary input so iPod volume has no affect on the volume of the head unit. The interface is designed to deliver line level that is then amplified by the HK head.
Thanks anyway.

 

I have the iPod interface and the BOOM audio AMP/Speakers.

I have no problem hearing my iPhone 4, set at about 1/2 volume on the stereo, on the highway at 70 - 75 mph. I've never noticed an issue...

 

Tell him to turn off "Sound Check" on the iPod. It averages the sound levels. So if he wants headbanger music to be loud, turn off sound check, or his heavy metal will be at the same level as his Enya tunes .

 

Do you folks at Iron Cross have a solution? Or maybe some advice?
He's pretty frustrated with the dealer's shoulder shrugging (they're all doing it) and I can't blame him.

 

Mine came stock on my CVO and it works fine. Just as loud as the radio.
There maybe some volume output on the iPod itself that needs changed.

 

Sorry, we don't.
We get a few calls a week regarding this.
Based on the dealers response, they're aware of it also.

Shameless plug...
The module we sell had the audio output paid particular attention to so as to avoid this issue.
