Volume Changes in CarPlay

Hi All...

Noticed after the most recent software update that I have to crank up the volume while in CarPlay almost all the time. Then, if I change back to the radio or take a call it cranks right back up. Soft reset doesnt really help. Anyone run into this?

Same issue here...there have been a few posts about this, including one of my own.

No real consensus on a universal solution, and I've attempted everything that's been suggested.

I have an iPhone 14 pro, B&W, and iDrive 8.5.

Incredibly frustrating issue, because the sound discrepancy is immense.

What version of vehicle software is installed on your cars?

I am now on 07/2023.58 (with ID8.5) and have no issues with volume between carplay and other sources. Of course Carplay is typically lower than other sources, but thats normal behavior.

Not sure....took delivery first week of August, so mid-July production?

I'm running .53 after the dealer updated my iDrive to 8.5, although I had the identical issue before the update.

I had the same issue for all 3 years of my 2020 as well, however the transition in volume was far less pronounced.
