USA spec pa12 iPod volume question.

WAMz4 · 06-28-2011, 03:05 PM

I just installed the USA Spec IPOD kit and it seems to do all it supposed to except, the volume is several times lower than the radio. If I’m listening to the radio at a normal level, then switch to the IPOD, the volume is barely audible. I have to turn the radio volume way up, so high that I’m sure if I forget to turn it back down and switch back to radio it will blow out a speaker. The sound is still clear from the IPOD, No distortion and I can turn it up pretty loud but I have to turn it all the way back down to barely audible before turning back to the radio. The interesting thing is, if I turn of the car or the stereo, it defaults back to the low volume which is normal listening for the radio. I haven’t seen any other forum comments on this. Is it just me? Do I have something hooked up wrong?

Hokay, guess Im the only one with this installed. I hope USA spec tech support answers the email soon.

Shouldn't be that big of a difference.. Is it a direct line from the dock to the USA unit? I don't have one in my Z, but I have a USA Spec in my Grand Cherokee.. It works flawlessly..
