I want to adjust the volume of CarPlay

This is a frustrating problem. You're in luck though; there is a way to fix it. So intuitive that it is non-intuitive...at least on Honda vehicles. Likely on others also though.

You actually just use the standard volume control knob on your vehicle while that feature is activated. So to lower Siri's crazy loud beeps/voice, activate Siri and then lower the volume with the knob while it is activated. It's a different volume from the stereo. I believe it is the same for the ringtone volume but I have not tried. I need to have someone call and adjust volume while ringing.

You can only adjust the volume when a call is ringing, but the settings adjust the phone's standard ring volume.

It hen resets to 100% next time. It has scared me a lot of times and I agree it's dangerous.

Seems that Apple doesn't have a separate "Carplay" ring volume control as is for Bluetooth and Headphones.

iOS 10.3.1 fixed the issue on my Ford with Sync 3. It was possible to adjust the volume before but only during the ring. But every time I disconnected the phone and connect it again it defaulted back to 100%.

It now seems to work and "remember" the ring tone volume set for the car.

Hi there, just wanted to be sure what trick you were referring to which worked. Are you referring to @ITS68's reply?:

I have a new Mitsubishi Sport and it is a massive problem. I have taken it back to the dealership and tried all the below with no luck! Everyone just says "oh, it shouldn't be doing that". Not real happy. Have just gone back to not using Carplay unless I desperately need the maps but find Google Maps to be better anyway. All works good when just using Bluetooth...

I use Carplay in my Nissan Murano. When Siri is speaking, I see a different sound indicator, so I can adjust that volume. However, I have to do that every time. Wish there was a way to set a default. Right now it always defaults to 100% for Siri.

Is there anyway to set the default volume control for Siri when using Carplay. I LOVE Carplay, but whenever I use Siri - ask for Map directions, would I like to send a message, who would I like to call, Siri blasts me out of my seat.

Yes, I can adjust Siri's volume, when Siri is activated, but it doesn't keep that volume setting. Next time I get in my car and activate Siri, it is back to 100%.

I the exact same issue on a new Kenwood with CarPlay, there is a setting under General the go to maps then driving and navigation, there you will see a setting for navigation voice volume. The options are normal, low, loud and off. It works with some radios but unfortunately not all, but give it go and see if that works.

I agree, it is dangerous.

I use the Old Phone and when it rings on many occasions I have almost rolled my car.

Does anyone know if Apple has acknowledged this issue?

There are several volume controls. There is the volume control of your iPhone and your car's unit. Keep the car unit about 1/2 and adjust the iPhone's volume to your comfort level.

Hope that helps.

There is no volyme control that can be set while connected to airplay. Spotify is super low and ringtones just blows the speakers out scaring the driver to death and waking all children in the car.

CarPlay is dangerous.

This definitely works when I try it on the phone when it is not connected to CarPlay. I will try it tomorrow when I connect to CarPlay and post the results.
