Hi AllI am fairly certain that I read about a fix for having lower sound level from a hardwired IPOD setup - i think by dipswitch adjustment, but I can't for the life of me find it. Any help? The CD sound makes my ears bleed when maxed out, and the IPOD is only loud - I wants my ears to BLEED!

How did you hardwire it? Via the headphone jack, or through the dock output?

Had it done by bestbuy - used the Peripheral IPOD2CAR unit - don't know what they wired it to. Found a similar problem that another was having here http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=24690 and for them it was just having the soundcheck function on the ipod itself set to ON - limits the high end to normalize - checked mine and mine was ON too, haven't checked it in the car yet, guessing that was it. Will update later.

i have the same "issue" with my PIE aux adapter. i just deal with it, its no really an issue for me and it was cheaper to get the aux adapter than buy a new head unit

turning off soundcheck fixed it for me, my ears are bleeding a gain!

With my old head unit, I used an basic aux input with output from the iPod's headphone jack. I had to set the volume on the iPod at a certain level (about 3/4's of the way up) to make the volume the same between iPod, CD, and radio. With my newer head unit that has full iPod integration, I'm getting a line-level output from the iPod's dock connector, and there's no volume difference between sources. It may come down to how you're getting the music out of the iPod.

not sure about the iPod2CAR, but the PIE aux adaptor (coldmn803) can increase its volume by switching DIP #6 to 'ON'.see toward the end of this thread: http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...age=4
