Has anyone who installed this carplay unit have low volume issues on music? Have my Iphone connected via WIFI / Bluetooth , head unit is set to AUX (cable) and then navi to goto carplay.

music volume AUX is set to +6, and then volume at max its gentle listening volume . phone calls are really loud. but music is not. Has anyone else had this issue and got a fix.

Just as an update, if you run the bluetooth through PCM BT, then load carplay it works fine, but you have to manually wait for PCM bt to connect then change to that source then go into CP.. annoying AF. the AUX cable is useless
One thing you can check:

When connected via AUX, can you verify the actual phone volume level? Because you are connecting through AUX, the volume can also be controlled in the phone and if the volume is low in the phone you won’t be able to hear much.

I tried that, seems once the carplay kicks in volume adjustment isn't an option. the solution for now is to use PCM BT AUX , thought the car BT takes so long to connect.
 
Before I begin I want to say I did use the search function and had no help.

I just finished installing my Joyeauto CarPlay retrofit into my 2015 macan s.
Install was pretty easy for the most part. After my initial startup everything connected except audio. If I crank the volume I can hear faint crackling. My DP switches are all off except slot 8.

things I’ve tried….
Making sure optical cable is connected to pcm.

pressing aux before entering into CarPlay

all cables and connections are tight

Dummy plug is in


Did hard reset on PCM.

am I missing something? Also noticed when I put car in reverse camera doesn’t pop up. When I connected eveeything I seen the 2wires for back up camera were optional. Do I need to connect them? Any help Would be appreciated.
