Ring volume in CarPlay too loud

My ring volume is shocking loud when my phone is connected to CarPlay. I tried switching "change with buttons" on/off multiple times but it did not help. Also tried adjusting the volume when phone was ringing but that also turned down the volume of the telephone calls, so I had to bring the volume up to be able to hear that the callers were saying. Doing this made the ring volume of the next calls painfully loud again.

I attempted almost every suggestions I found on the internet but none of them seems to work.

I am using iPhone SE with iOS version 16.0.2 and connected to a Ford Focus with Sync3 infotainment system.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Yeah Apple knows it’s an issue but refuses to make a patch to fix it. It’s not an issue with android auto.

They could easily make an option to have the ringer volume be separate from the media volume. The only way to “fix” this is every time you get in the car have someone call you and while it’s ringing lower the volume. You have to do this every single time. God forbid Apple listen to their consumers and just fix the issue.

Hi Chris,


Thank you for your response. I tried all of the above but none of them worked. Once iPhone is connected to car head unit, CarPlay will take control of the volume.

I wish Apple would design a separate function for ringer volume setting on CarPlay. That will certainly make my life so much easier.

Hey there phamcaoson,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, has this issue always occurred when connecting your iPhone with your vehicle?


If not, and if you haven't already, try restarting your iPhone with the steps shown here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


How to restart your iPhone 6, 7, 8, or SE (2nd or 3rd generation)
1. Press and hold the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.


While restarting may seem like a simple step, it can often help with resolving some unexpected issues like this.


We also see that there is an iOS update available for your iPhone. Since updating can often bring the latest features, security updates, and bug fixes, we would recommend updating to the latest iOS version, and test the issue again.


For help with updating, check out this next link here: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Lastly, certain vehicle stereos may have an option in the settings that controls the volume of your ringer. We would recommend checking your car's manual that may provide some additional information, or you could also try reaching out to the car manufacturer.


Keep us updated on the results.


Take care!
