2018 F3 Limited Speaker Volume

[psapman911]

Has anybody changed the speakers and if you did what kind and size and did you add a small amp. Did you run into any issues with the radio? The radio is way to low in sound for me on the highway. thanks for the advice.

Do you have v20.8 firmware installed? Also try setting the ambient auto volume increase. I have a 2018 RT Limited with the 6 speaker audio system. After setting the auto volume increase, I get plenty of audio at 70 mph with the volume set at about 3/4.

How can you check to see what level of firmware you have installed?

On the right side of the dash, using the small joystick, go to settings, then select info. You will have a number there, that's the version you have.

A few days ago " Billy Bovine " posted some info about this issue ….. He stated HOW to fix …… Mike hyea:

I have a 2018 F3L and have no problem with audio volume. Using my android phone for audio. At highway speed with the volume at between 1/2 and 3/4. Also the the auto volume set to high.

So we need more details. What is your audio source? If using your phone. What kind of phone, android or iphone? Are you using a device that plugs into the aux input?

 

[billybovine]

If you are using an android phone as your audio source. This may fix your issue. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?124756-New-Dash-low-volume-from-Android-phone

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but Android detects something being plugged into the headphone jack and sets audio output to HALF. You need to go in and turn up the fone's volume. It will argue with you, but you can do it.

I went for ride yesterday and made the recommended adjustments. Sound level ok but clarity was so-so. Might investigate putting better speakers and a small amp; will keep everybody posted thanks for the help- Mike
