Big Drop in CarPlay Volume?

I've noticed lately that when I play music via CarPlay in my RDX, the volume is substantially lower than it used to be.

I can't figure out what caused it, as a few things have changed lately ---

1. I got the service done to deal with the crackling coming from the speakers
2. I got a new phone (iPhone 15 Pro Max, if it matters)

I suspect it is the service... but maybe there is something I'm not thinking of?

I used to listen in the high teens, or in the high single-digits when my kids were in the car. I thought I was losing my mind at first, but then my kinds noticed independently that the volume at 7-9 used to be fairly loud to them and is now quiet.

Any ideas??

Did you turn the volume up from the IPhone itself to make sure it isn’t lower somehow with your new phone? Once connected via CarPlay and playing music turn the volume up on the Iphone itself.

There is no volume control from the phone when connected via CarPlay, at least not that I know of.

You need to turn up the volume with the system controls in the car when Siri is talking.

Isn't that just Siri volume? I thought she had her own volume level.

My bad brain fart! Turn up the volume on your phone before connecting it to the car via cable or wireless. If you have the volume turned down before that you get whatever volume the phone is set at.
