BMW Bluetooth Too Loud

E92Vancouver · 02-12-2009, 10:26 PM

I have a BMW courtesy car with the Bluetooth option. I have paired it with my Blackberry Bold. When a call comes in, it is routed through the car stereo. It is on the minimum settings and the volume is still way too loud. My ears bleed. Is there a fix for this?

You can turn your phone volume down. I have bluetooth and dont have that problem at all.

I have turned the volume knob on the stereo to minimum. I have also used the steering wheel volume control to turn it down to minimum. On my Bold, the volume level is in the middle and is frozen. The rocker switches on the side of my Blackberry will not work when it is connected to the car. The speed volume control is turned to minimum.

Very frustrating!!!

While in a phone conversation, did you turn the volume down? The volume controls are "modal" and apply differently for radio, telephone, and satnav based on which "mode" you are in.

Best way to adjust it is while it is ringing - turn the volume up or down while the call is coming in and it will keep that setting until changed.

usually you just have to turn the volume down like you would on the radio, probley has something to do with your phone

It is not a problem with the Bold. Mine works fine...

+1. Try this.

I've never had a problem adjusting the volume by just turning the stereo's volume knob.

Mine drives me insane, I can never hear someone on a call so I turn the volume up, The next time someone calls me I nearly have an accident when it rings. Its really freaking annoying.
