telephone volume?

Post by fenj66 » Thu Dec 23, 2010 4:51 pm

hi all, i have noticed over time that the volume on the car hands free is never very loud.
today was particularly annoying as i just couldnt make out was being said over the cars speakers.
i can adjust the radio and sat nav voice to very loud, but the phone volume is just too quiet to hear properly when driving.
is there a way to increase this other than turning the volume knob up which has very limited effect?
my phones own volume is set to max by the way..

cheers all..

Have you tried the volume control during a call?

Have a try with someone else's phone see if its the same, could eliminate the car as the problem maybe?
