Let me start off by apologizing if this question has been asked and answered 1000 times before. I'm new to the forums, and a quick search didn't reveal anything obvious.
My fiancee and I have a 2008 Cx-9 Grand Touring model. In general, we love it, but it has a couple of minor annoyances that I'd love to figure out. The worst is probably the volume levels of the audio system. Listening to the radio or CD's is wonderful. However, the audio level of the rear seat entertainment system is extremely low compared to normal radio or CD, and the volume of the Bluetooth phone is extremely high.
In order for the kids to watch movies in the rear seat, we have to fade all of the volume to the rear speakers, and turn the volume up to 30 or so. And if you should make the mistake of closing the rear screen, or switching back to radio with it set that way, it blows your eardrums out.
The Bluetooth is just the opposite. With the radio volume set to a comfortable level of 9 or 10, when a phone call comes in, it interrupts so loud that it's actually painful to your eardrums. You have to make a mad reach for the volume knob to turn it down to almost nothing before pressing the phone button.
Is there any way to balance out the various audio inputs to the system so that they're not so annoying? The phone is by far the more annoying of the two, since it's used on an almost daily basis, while the rear entertainment system doesn't get used all that frequently.
Thanks,
Chuck
