I have an avic-700bt and realized today in my car that 62 is the max volume. Is there anyway to increase the max volume? I mean it is pretty loud but when you drive with the windows open at speeds around 40, it gets kind of soft. I am using the line outs as my car had the bose system in it already so the music is just being amplified by the stock bose amp.

You can turn up the SLA setting for whatever sources you are use except for the AM/FM radio. There's also loudness and EQ settings that can be adjusted. But no, there's no way to have the unit play louder than the maximum volume... that's why it's called the maximum volume.

If you used the GMOS LAN 02 harness you can turn the pot on the box to get the volume to increase. Its next to one of the wire harness connections. You need a small screwdriver but it allows you to adjust the volume alot

i think there is a bug with this devices sound. sometimes, even at the maximum volume, the sd card,usb and the ipod volume is very low. it comes from deep. this may be something related wtih leechs avic loader 1.5. the only way i am able to fix it is resetting the device. but this also resets my favourite radio station presets so i am not keen on it. does anybody have any solution to this?

well am i experiencing the bug? is the max volume on the unit 62?

I've never turned the volume higher than 50 as it's blasting and I don't even have an amp installed. The problem he may be having is the speakers...dunno for sure though.

well i am just using the line outs from the unit letting my cars stock amp do the work. I thought that the BOSE amp from infiniti would do the job as I had an eclipse nav system before using line outs and it seemed much louder than this. and the GMOS LAN 02 is only for GMs right? I have an infiniti so i think I am out of luck there

Instead of using the line outputs, install a QAULITY line output converter on the speaker wires. That way you have full gain control.

Best Buy sells one, Peripheal ISVE-61.

Have you messed with the speed volume settings?

normally i have enough sound at volume 40-45 levels. but sometimes,a bug occurs and after that i can not get enough volume on sd cards,usb and ipod even i reach the max volume 62!the only way to correct this for now is to reset it. i think it is something related with avic launcher 1.5 but still not sure.

no i did not mess with speed volume control. where are those controls?

Speed-dependent volume settings apply only to Navi prompts, so they would not affect music volume anyway...

lol I've never turned my volume past 30, that alone makes my ears bleed

it's most likely because the gain on your amp or converter is set too low. there should be a knob that you can turn that would adjust the gain. don't set your unit to max volume... it might cause damage to your amp, head unit, speakers, or all of them.

well idk if my amp has gain control. it is the stock bose amp from my infiniti g20

Your factory Bose radio uses high level outputs and almost every aftermarket radio uses low level outputs through their RCA connections. To hook up to a bose factory system usually requires the use of some kind of adapter or alittle wiring magic. I was a professional installer for 16+ years. What year and model is your Infiniti so I can be more help?

2000 infiniti g20

Ok. I take it you are using a Metra harness or something similar which gives you RCA input to the factory amp correct? Here is the difference between your Eclipse and your 700bt. Eclipse usually runs with a 5-8volt preout while your 700bt is only 2volts. That is a huge difference and very noticable. You can use your speaker lead outputs but they have to run through line level adapters before you plug them in. This might help out alot but you risk sound quality unless you spend decent money on something like the JL Audio CleanSweep. A 90bt would have been a better fit for you to be honest. It has a 4volt preout.

Instead of using the line outputs, install a QAULITY line output converter on the speaker wires. That way you have full gain control.

Best Buy sells one, Peripheal ISVE-61, which is a 4-channel converter.

Just do as I suggested here, or upgrade to the f90. I have personnaly seen this converter on a o-scope, and the is no distortion added when comparing it to the pre-outs on the deck. Just don't leave the gain controls all the way up.
