Apple Music volume at 50% while plugged into car.

The recent update has made Apple Music more quiet in my car. My cars volume has a dial from 0-40. 30 used to be the max. Now, with the most recent update (17.1.1), 40 is still quieter than the old 30.


When I now look at the song that is playing, the volume bar on the phone shows it’s at 50% and I can’t figure out how to increase this to be 100% so I can adjust the actual volume through my CarPlay.


How do I turn up the volume on my phone while plugged into my car? It’s not proper headbanging if I can still hear myself talk

This didn’t solve the issue. This actually fixed the issue with my headphones over Bluetooth and AirPlay but CarPlay is still stuck at 50% volume.

I have the same problem. When my iPhone 15 (OS 17.4.1) is connected to my truck (Ford Sync 3) the volume is limited to 50%. It can’t be changed via Volume Control Pro. Music played via Pandora using CarPlay is much quieter than other music sources (FM radio). In the Apple Music app I have the EQ and Sound Check set to “off”.


Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to correct this?
