Bluetooth sound

[dgbroyles @gmail.com]

All you members who have a 2015 ar240 please help. I am having an issue with the Bluetooth connected to my ipod producing very little sound out of boat speakers. Practically have to turn volume up on connext to hear the sound. USB sound is great as is radio. Just bluetooth. Anyone else have this issue?

Don't have an answer for you (I don't have Connext), but I noted in your profile that you have a 2013 210SS (which I assumed was a typo for an 210SX). But you are asking about a 2015 AR240?

No, I have a 2015 ar240 with connect screen with the Polk Pa4? Think that's right

Make sure the volume is all the way up on the phone/iPod. That’s my only guess. I don’t have any problem with volume unless the phone volume is turned down for some reason.

I'll double check that, but was pretty sure ipod volume was up, but I will max that and recheck. Ya, you would think boat stereo would over ride that.

Bluetooth would not over ride. Your local (iPod) volume has to be up. Then the host (boat) will control the volume from the local volume point.
That being said, Bluetooth is always not as robust as USB or even AUX. Over the air is always less robust.
Hope this helps.

That worked! Turned volume on max for ipod. Sounds much better. Thank you.
