Junk crap! Hardwired works. Bluetooth? Forget it. When I Bluetooth, my volume is only half what it is hard wired. WTF is up with that?

Sorry, don't mean to bogart the thread here . . .

You probably need to turn up the volume on your phone to max when it’s connected to Bluetooth then it should be normal for whatever your car’s volume is set to. Mine is about the same volume between CarPlay and Bluetooth with an iPhone 13.

Apple does sell a 2m USB-C to lightning cable. That’s what I’m using and it works great. Do you need longer than 2 meters?

The Apple cable is of course more expensive but this is a Land Rover forum, so the extra $15 probably isn’t a hardship for most of us lol.
