Or decrease it for the radio?
Currently, if I have the radio at an acceptable volume and then switch to the phone, to Spotify, I have to turn the volume up a lot to compensate.
Then when I unplug the phone, the radio is very loud.

hahaha- ain't nothing "great", or "champion" about this black-duck!!  .
In truth, I'm more interested in that magnificent trout that tim (I assume) is holding in his picture (I'm a fly fisherman too)! I hope that he used a barb-less hook to land said magnificent beast - and that he kissed the trout before releasing it (Aussie custom)!
Seriously, nothing comes immediately to mind regarding your questions. I know that the hex5F module has a series of adaptation channels that set the gain for various type of input devices (factory setting is -128 db). Maybe look through the list and experiment?
I'm also aware that some Apps (like Spotify) has settings that allow for volume levels - maybe worth exploring?
Anyhow, got to go - I have flies to tie!!

Hahaha. As for fishing I can contribute little .. I don't have that hobby .. Hehej, as for the other, what do you suggest to turn up the volume in the Spotify settings, is not it. The point is, that Spotify connected via Bluetooth listens loud and well. The issue is that when you start it from Carapp, the volume is lower, that is, the predefined volume of Android auto is lower than the predefined volume of the Bluetooth connection. Hence the question, is there any way to be able to increase the factory preset volume by obdeleven settings on the Carapp

Oh yes, barbless always. I didn't kiss it as it was a California trout and not used to such attention.

As I said in my first reply - my only suggestion is that you experiment with the adaptation channels in the MIB (i.e. the hex5F module) that regulate the level of "gain" for the various audio input sources.
In the hex5F module, if you select adaptation and then enter "gain" into the search box, you should find Audio Management Input Gain Generation 2 - which contains a group of channels below:
TV Tuner Satellite radio Radio (FM) Radio (AM) Digital radio (DAB) Exbox_DMB HFP Media_Airplay Media_AUX_Adapter Media_AUXIN Media_Bluray Media_BTDevice Media_CDA Media_Cloud Media_DVD Media_HDMI Media_MFP Media_UPNP Mirrorlink Phone_Ringer_MFP Phone_Ringer_OB Phone_Voice TA_Tuner_FM Tone_Beep Tone_Messaging Tone_Touchscreen Tone_Warning TTS_Nav TTS_SDS Tuner_Online Tuner_Personal Tuner_TI TV_AV_IN
As you can clearly see, the list above is the input sources for the MIB and the factory setting for these channels is mostly -128. I assume that the units are decibels - if I'm correct, increasing the value (i.e. a less negative number) should result in a higher volume from that input source.
I'm not sure which channel relates to Android, but clearly most of the descriptors can't be candidate channels for this medium! I suggest that you experiment with the more likely entries - perhaps start with Media_UPNP (maybe - I'm just guessing). I've not played with these channels - so this is simply a suggestion (no guarantee of success). You must do the work!!

Did anyone find anything in dv52’s post that actually made a difference?

Post by timteichman on May 17, 2021 18:53:44 GMT
I tried all sorts of channels, setting the value to 0. Nothing seems to make a difference.

If you still need help, hopefully I can guide you in the right direction. I own a 2019 GLI, but I would assume the steps are very similar. Check to see if you have an app on obd11
that enables engineering mode/developer mode on the radio. It's called green engineering menu. If you do, enable that app the follow the steps to get into the menu. (hold setup/menu button for 20 seconds). On my GLI, it doesn't open the "green menu", but it does open an 'engineering' menu which I assume are the same. Can you do this and tell me what menu you get? Once I confirm what menu you have, I can guide you to finding the gain controls for all devices (bluetooth, carplay, android auto, etc). In my car, my carplay gain was set to -4! I bumped it up to +6 and its much better.

There are many options in the green menu, listing everything would be impracticable. It would make more sense for you to post the route you took to get to the gain options, then we can try it and report back rather than report when we have nothing to try.
Thanks

Not sure input gain works that way, isn’t it more to eliminate distortion/electrical noise, as -128db would be a massive difference between output of device and input of mib, as db is not linear, as in 10db is x10 20db is x 100, 30db is 1000, 100db would be times 1 with 100 zeros behind it |

I do have the app, but unfortunately on my car is says "Not Supported" and won't work.

App?
Do it manually dude
5F
Change Service - choose Developer Mode
Adaptations - Developer Mode - set value Activated
Then press and hold menu for 10 seconds on mib
Then select test mode

I'm with you until this step: "Then press and hold menu for 10 seconds on mib"
I have no Menu button. My 2017 GTI had one, but my 2019 doesn't.

As it’s aux in adaptor? I may have a different version of gem to you guys so mine may display different names, forgot I upgraded it, whoops My software version seems to be different to yours …I read 4.11st and see no “Production” or “mqbcoding”, all I see at the bottom of the options is “Navigation”. Can you explain exactly how you’re getting to that menu, please? Also, what happened with your YT channel? It was really helpful. |

Yeah mines been erm “modified “ ha ha so you may not have the same menu options,
But on the first page (where it gives you instructions on how to use gem) production is the only entry
My YT page was abused and I was accused of making money and not giving customer support for a product I wasn’t selling 🤷♂️ Or actually making money

Hi, sorry to bump thread.
Developers options I follow but it wont let me edit the numbers on the input screen for some reason.
Do I need to enable an edit option on developers first?
I use a MOST external set up & wish to up the gains for SD card & USB.
Any help appreciated.

Think you need to tap the bottom of the screen until the arrow gets where you want it, then you tap the centre of the screen to enter

Hi VWJap, I can move up & down, but when I hold in the middle nothing happens.
Like a read only mode I suspect?
Cheers.

Never heard of that, all the cars I’ve ever done it’s just use up down to move the curser to what’re you want then press the middle to select it

I really hate the mid range from the head unit (discovery 2.5) even with direct MOST output to ZEN/DSP. Cant find any way of improving.

Digging this out in case anyone is still puzzled by that. No need to fiddle with the car. Just go to Spotify settings and switch off volume normalisation. There may be now some difference in volume between songs, but at least they will be played louder.
