Head unit different sound with radio and phone

Does anyone have noticed playing radio/Sirius music is louder than playing music from your phone?

 

Sometimes having your EQ on your phone set to custom or something other than normal will cause the volume to sound low. Not sure if you have android or iPhone but I had that issue with my android (in an aftermarket radio in another vehicle). Make sure your phone volume is turned all the way up, if it'll even let you control it.
Don't have a 3rd gen just something I've experienced before.

 

My 2021 was this same way. On the freeway streaming music from my phone with Spotify I'd have the volume between 35-40 but the radio only needed to be 28-32ish. My 2022 is the same way. Doesn't bother me I just know the volume limits for each source.

 

Definitely normal. Has to do with source volume just like on a tv between a show and commercials. Audio over bluetooth will also sound different compared to even via usb due to compression.

 

same on earlier models, each sound input/source has and keeps its own sound settings.

 

Some phone apps have volume adjustments built in.

 

This has been around forever in stock systems mainly.

most good aftermarket systems you can really adjust each input , my pioneer has all that. Had to trim up the Bluetooth compared to others , etc
