I am finding that my phone volume played via bluetooth is quite low. I have set my apple phone volume to maximum. I have looked in "System settings" but can't see any section which is appropriate. Am I missing something?

Turn the volume knob for the radio it works for a lot of volumes.

To expand, whilst on the phone, the volume buttons/dial controls the phone volume. Whilst listening to the radio the volume buttons/dial controls the radio volume. And whilst receiving navigation instructions the volume buttons/dial controls the nav volume. The head unit holds multiple volume level settings.

While the volume slider bar is showing on the up of the display press the down facing arrow to the right and it will bring up all the different volume setting you can adjust independently e.g radio, sat nav, phone etc.

Not sure the poster is on AAOS, given his vehicle is a T4 R design Pro I suspect he has the sensus system.

Yes, Filindre, it is Sensus. Seems that turning up the radio control is the answer. Thanks for the replies

Check your iPhone Bluetooth connection has device type set to “car stereo”. That will automatically ramp up your iPhones audio levels when the Bluetooth connection is made.

That’s a good tip. After starting the engine, on your iPhone go to Settings, Bluetooth and see in My Devices list your car - should state Connected. Next to it on the right press the blue button “i” button and in Device Type select Car Stereo.
