iOS 14 Headphone Volume limiter kicking in when connected to car Bluetooth aux adapter

I had this problem with 13, resolved it, but now have it again with most recent update, and can’t remember how I resolved it. It’s friggin infuriating, really drives me insane to have that pop up and tell me to turn it down, especially since I have that option allll the way OFFFFF and it’s still bugging me. Grrrr

My sentiments exactly! I have issues with relinquishing my free will, even in the smallest sense. Apple’s poor justification - for this clear control tactic- has also forced me to question my loyalty. Are they seriously using the excuse that they are “saving us from ourselves by helping us” when we can all see that this is a tactic to avoid future lawsuits? At this point and if I purchase another Apple device, anything thereafter becomes my fault. Not only is the feature frustrating but it also makes me very uncomfortable. I’m currently shopping for ANYTHING other than Apple!

Same. The odd thing I realized recently using the Clubhouse app is that the volume limit is only for apps that use data apparently, since I can max the audio of phone calls just fine. Since Clubhouse runs over cell service, I can max out the volume without the limiter kicking in. So the volume limiter isn't even fully implemented - only works on some apps like those for music and podcasts.

It's ridiculous cumbersome for a company so committed to ease and simplicity.

I have found some work-arounds that you can find in my earlier comments^

Are you able to turn down the volume on the phone but set the car's volume really high?

Same problem here. Do they make bluetooth car adapters that are not recognized as headphones in iOS? I'm happy to buy a new one to make this really annoying issue go away. Please help Apple.

I have this same issue. I am sure using your phone for control with your car audio all the way up would work, although this means any other audio coming from the car will be very loud.

There is no “lightning adapters” option under “sounds and haptics>headphone safety>?” In iOS 14.3

I have it. I am on 14.3.

I updated to the 14.3 software. I am not a registered developer. I am with the iPhone X and live in Bulgaria.

Thank you!

HugeHungryHippo - what model iPhone and what version of iOS?

iPhone X 14.4.2

Mine is a Black Web I believe? I will definitely do that though because I saw that option in there

I have done that and it didn’t resolve it.

the built I. Health app rules how

much and how loud !!!! My iPhone won’t recognise my aux jack connection is for my car speakers not my headphones so I am not able to play any music 😥😥😥😥
