Hi everyone!
Had my merc for over a year now with no trouble, so figured it's time to try to sort the one thing that really annoys me...
I regularly listen to podcasts in the car from my iphone, which i have plugged in to the aux socked in the glovebox.
However, the volume level is so low, even turned up full, that with a window open, or even on a noisy road or with traffic around, I just can't hear anything - the volume output of the aux is so low, and is WAY lower than the output from other modes like radio or cd (which means when I've been listening to something on the ipod and then flick over to CD everyone in the car and neighbouring streets gets deafened!)
I have heard there is an accessible menu to boost the audio output from the aux - does anyone know if this is true, and of so, how do I access it, and what would I press to increase the aux volume output?
It sounds a small thing, but, without being able to listen to podcasts on my long drives, , it's really wrecking the enjoyment of the car a little!
any help appreciated!
for the record, it's the audio 20 with the colour lcd screen, as shown in the pic (not exactly the same, but pretty much), and the car is a late 2009 E220D Avantgarde W211!
