Default Volume is low when using "line in"

I generally listen to the radio and CDs with the volume on 6. It's plenty loud enough at that level. If a really good song comes on, I might go to 8 or 10, but that's it.

Yesterday I plugged my Android phone into the "line in" port on the dash. I noticed that the volume was very low. I turned the volume all the way up on the phone and then I had to turn the truck's volume to 20 to get it to a normal listening level. Problem is, if you forget to turn it back down before hitting the radio button it'll scare you to death.

Anybody know how to make the volume match the volume on other modes?

Well I followed the instructions in the owners manual and it didn't help. So I figured out how to use Bluetooth audio instead and the volume level is better. I'll just go with that.

Also with Bluetooth Audio turn the volume level up on your phone high first then on the radio. Makes a big difference.

I keep mine about mid, to high mid level. Let the stereo do most of the work.

^ Doesn't work when using LINE IN though. I too feel the volume is still too low.
