    Exclamation 2016 F3-T with Top Case - Radio too loud???

    I know that no one has ever said "My radio is too loud" but mine is. I have a 2016 F3-T that I added the top case on to. The speakers that are in the top case are way too loud. On setting 1 (or the first up from mute) is just blaring loud. I have gone into the settings to see if something needs to be changed but I can't figure it out. I can't imagine what it would be like if I actually turned up the volume a few notches! Has anyone else had this problem?

    I know I will need the higher volume for the highway but not just to be riding around town.

    As soon as your radio is on, and too loud, tap tap tap the down arrow. That will lower your volume. When you hold down the down arrow, that will mute the volume

    Default LOUD

    It might be possible that your radio setting has 90% of volume being sent to those rear speakers ...... check the balance / fader setting ..... Mike

    Default Agree...

    not familiar with your sound system but many have a default volume setting and yours may also be loud. Now if it is only the rear speakers it would be like Mike stated...

    I don't have the extra rear trunk but hit mode until you get to preferences and scroll down the first list to audio. Then across to the settings. I remember there was some upload to the radio that had to be done when the trunk was added. Did they do it?

    There is a software download that has to be performed when you add the topcase with amp and speakers. Check with your dealer.

    I have the top case, have done the radio update and have no option to fade front speakers or back one's. I have looked for this option twice.

    FYI: update also fixes a problem of the radio over charging device connected to it's USP port.

    I have no idea. i keep an ipod connected all the time, and perhaps it has been overcharging. I mentioned it in my post simply because the dealer mentioned it to me.
