Aux input in glove box.

[sihowat]

My CLC has an aux input in the glove box which I plug my phone into. Works fine but the volume is very quiet compared to the radio or CD. Volume is up full on my phone.

Has anyone else experienced lower volume when using it?

Or will a better quality cable help?

Has anyone used an aux bluetooth adapter?

The volume IS very low. Also causes it to blast out when you switch the source.
Bluetooth adaptor is the way to go imho as this gives a louder input.

Cheers. It's also in the most awkward place possible.

You know any decent bluetooth adaptors?

There are plenty on ebay - cheap enough and decent quality sound.
I used

BT MATE Bluetooth car kit with A2DP audio streaming and AUX input

You can also make/receive calls on this and you just have to run power from the power outlet and a cable - easy to hide - to the glovebox.
Cheaper on Amazon than Caraudiocentre.

You could try a rechargeable headphone amp to lift the output from your source https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01IHGWGDM/?tag=amazon0e9db-21

I have the same issue too.

I looked into it and it seems that Apple have a volume cap (aimed at headphones) which is meant to stop users deafening themselves and then taking Apple to court.

I don't suppose you can blame them in this litigious world.

I have tried using the Bluetooth to stream music on my MB2 Viseeo and the quality is not the best - it could be better on a more modern system

I'd get something like this - rechargeable bluetooth adaptor

Or this if you want to make calls and have a mic attached to the dashbaord
