iTunes/iPhone Music

Anyone notice when you toggle from SiriusXM to Bluetooth music the volume is substantially lower?? Does anyone know a fix besides the obvious raising and lowering volume each time?

I personally prefer a slave iPod over anything Bluetooth. Bluetooth has noticeable losses compared to a directly connected USB iPod. And I recommend at least 256 kbps bitrate if using AAC format and 320 kbps bitrate if using MP3. Maybe I'm trippin' or something, but Apple's AAC even at a lower bitrate seemed to be better than higher bitrate MP3. Maybe they have a better compression algorithm.

I notice a diff when switching yes, not sure how to "auto" fix...
but i also highly recommend utilizing the car's HD, import your music to the car, much faster in comparison to BT

I've noticed this too. On my other car there is a setting to control the volume from the bluetooth/ipod just for this purpose.

Yup, I'm using Apple Music and love having every song on my iPhone. Am not even bothering with the onboard music storage on the M5.
