Can’t Change iPhone Volume in the Car
While I’m playing music in the car, I cannot operate the phone’s volume with Music.
So, how do I get this to operate?
Of course, I can change the volume on the car’d builtin stereo.
Note: I’m not the driver here, so no worries on that. 👈
iPhone 6, iOS 12

It was already explained to you that it's not going to work. If the car has an auxiliary jack, use that instead. You can then change the volume using the phone.
Or, go by the old rules: driver is in charge of the music.

If you are connected to the in-car system, the volume is changed by the system, not the iPhone.
Music App Icon on My iPhone 6:
Well, I was playing some music, and I just could not “access the volume control from all the way back.” I had the phone plugged it in to the Car’s USB port.
I don’t want lean over the seats and increase the volume. Turns out, I could neither increase nor decrease the volume from the iPhone.
Thinking something may be inoperable, asked. I tried Bluetooth; that was of no success.
Changing the volume from the car, I guess, is the only way to go.
You're not making a whole lot of sense. You said "While I’m playing music in the car, I cannot operate the phone’s volume with Music."
Then you proceeded to say "I’ve never attempted to change the volume on it, while hardwired to a car."
Since the subject line of your post contains the phrase "While Plugged into Car" I assumed you had actually attempted to do what you claimed you could not do...
Maybe you'd like to start over and actually explain what you're trying to accomplish and what happens when you try...
When you have it plugged into a wired connection the volume is controlled by the stereo in the car, not the volume controls on the phone.
Thanks.
I’ve never attempted to change the volume on it, while hardwired to a car.
Haven’t tried Bluetooth yet.
Any knowledge of Bluetooth being controlled by the iPhone?
I’m trying once more while the iPhone is in sync with the car’s stereo. No success with changing the volume from the iPhone.
“U Can’t Touch This!” The aux port works!
Thanks!
Sometimes, the simpler, older tech is the best option. Glad it helped.
