If I connect my i9000 to the car stereo (Kenwood) via the headphone jack on the phone and Aux jack on the front of the stereo, the sound is really quiet, even with stereo on full volume. I'm using Gingerbread.xxivo.
Any ideas?
set volume to max on phone.
Try headphones to find out if the phone has issues or something else (cable, car stereo).

I have been searching for a way to have a cheap hans free unit in my car.
I have my mogul setup with usb/3.5 mm audio converter with aux cable into my stereo. This gives me mp3's playing and also I can hear when someone calls me. The problem is they cant hear me. The mic is shut off with this setup. has anyone found a way around this? thanks.

Use this adapter http://cgi.ebay.com/3-in-1-STEREO-H...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and have your 3.5mm into the stereo, and plug in your stereo headset into the headset port. You will then have audio going to both the headset and the stereo in your car, as well as audio input from the headset. Sounds kinda cool if you have both the car stereo and headset on and have some music playing. You can also have a car charger plugged into the extra port for a charge while you go.
I plan to take a headset and splice to wire the mic through my driver side column for better mic placement. Now I just hold the mic in my hand.
Hi all, I need a little help getting the Aux output working on my Note 3 (SM-N9005). I have purchased an Aux out cable from eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111486953855). When I plug it into my Note 3 the phone reports that the dock is connected. In Settings/Accessory 'Audio output mode' is selected. However when it's plugged into the Aux in port of my car stereo, the sound still comes out of the phone speaker not the car speakers.
What am I doing wrong?
Anyone? Anything?
I've never tried connecting it as a dock... I just use a 3 quid male-male 3.5mm audio cable between the earphone jack and the car's 3.5mm audio-in and it works perfectly.

I've tried that and it does work, but the volume is really low so I have to turn it way up, which usually means I get deafened when I change to the radio or CD.

Did you also raise the volume on the phone itself when the 3.5mm cable is connected and the music is playing?
Volume over headset is a separate setting from the volume over speakers, and can only be changed when a plug is inserted in the earphone jack.
Oddly enough, yes, I do. On my car stereo when I listen to other sources (radio/CD/USB) a reasonably comfortable all round volume is 15-20 (out of 50). With a 3.5mm jack to my phone, and with the phone volume turned all the way up, I pretty much have to be in the high 30s on the volume to get it about the same. That's because the 3.5mm jack on my car stereo is a Line in jack, so needs a line level input which the normal headphone output isn't.
Does the bluetooth audio also have a crippled sound level? Android phones sound like garbage connected to my car's AUX line because of the extremely low max level, I have to crank the volume to hissing speaker blowing levels just to hear it while driving and trying to listen to a podcast with the windows down is basically impossible, Apple devices sound perfect and I dont have to crank the volume at all so I know its not the radio's problem. Thinking of buying a Belkin bluetooth car adapter and using that if the bluetooth audio isnt lowered.
Just curious, say you've set the volume level of your car at a certain level. Then you set up your 2015 X to stream music to the car. How loud is that compared to plugging your phone's headphone output to the car's AUX input, without changing the car's speaker volume?
From my experience itsbvirtually the same. Although my Bluetooth dongle just broke andbi ordered an in car dlna setup to replace it instead so I can't test itbnow
I just picked up this phone and I absolutely love it, only issue though is the low headphone and Bluetooth Audio Volume. I know I can change the headphone volume by changing the mixer file, but I haven't seen anything on Bluetooth. Unfortunately my car doesn't have an aux port because Honda thinks everyone just uses Bluetooth now -_-. Does anyone know of a way to raise the volume level?
That's strange, because I find Bluetooth to be louder than the headphone output when going to an external speaker. In my car, bluetooth on my phone is maxed and even at 70% volume in my car it's ear blasting loud. You can't use steering wheel controls with the aux cord too.
If you're rooted you can try Viper.
