i am extremly fed up with the isimple being half as loud as when i use the CD player or radio. is there anything i can do about it? i know there are hundreds on TL owners on this forum who are just as sick of it as i am....

if they are gonna make me pay for the module plus their stupid apple firmware update the least they can do is function properly according to volume

F**K Isimple!!!!.......ok now that my venting is done, what can be done. i know nothing of audio, only performance

I dont have this issue at all with my ipod. Maybe have the volume of your ipod to max then plug it in?

volume on ipods can not be adjusted when attached to istupid i mean isimple

Un plug it . Put the volume up then plug it back in.

I dont have this issue. But the only real difference i notice is the higher quality song i have on my iPod, the louder it is...

Fatfrii

i know file quailty makes a differnce....but some songs i crank that shit to 40 and its not even loud and when i crank it when using a tape adapter i can potentially go deaf at 40

I don't have that problem and so far I have no complaints about the iSimple. Have you tried it with a different ipod?

**WhItE-aNgEl**

^^^ same here no problems at all. I love the isimple. It works great in my car.

I think its really a toss up, really depends if you get a good unit or not.. We will find out this summer once the heat really kicks in if any problems happen..

Ive tried both the isimple and the usa spec and in my opinion the isimple has better quality sound over the usa spec...

It is the files on your iPod or iPhone. If you use high quality recordings, then they should be about 90% as loud as the stereo and CD. I do have some older, lower quality, stuff that is half as loud.

You can turn "sound check" on with your iPod or iPhone and it will help some... at least it will be constant.

I have had the iSimple for two years and I love it. I do not listen to radio anymore except for NPR or CSPAN on the way to work. My lower quality songs (128 mb) are half as loud. The 192 and 320 mb songs sound awesome. Just a thought.

I'm having the same problem as the OP. My ipod is half as loud thru the iSimple as it is thru the Aux input. It's to the point where I have stoped using the iSimple as of today. I think wr need to complain to them in hopes of some sort of firmware update.

^ Look at the post above urs.. That is the issue guys..

Fatfrii

i belive the files are the issue...but if Isimple is going to charge us they should make their products with a little integrity. it audio this is simple. an update can fix this

My isimple sounds great, sounds better than music I have on a cd . Only problem I have which isn't a big deal is, sometimes it lags while I'm changing tracks using the steering wheel controls.

Fatfrii

what also bugs me is when i look for a song i have to start the search from scratch as apposed to hitting the minus button and going back i think thier programmers where lazy when it came to this

Drewman752

i keep mine is AUX mode so i can control by the ipod. The next button still work sjust fine also.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm particularly dissatisfied with the fidelity of the isimple pxamg iPod solution. It's alright, but not nearly as good as just using a dock "line out" cable from the iPod into the aux 3.5mm factory radio input. I've seen others post on here that the usa spec has superior sound quality compared to the isimple. Has anyone else had both and can give their opinion?
