Model S (2016) constantly turns down Bluetooth volume

[CaliMS]

I got the 2020.4.1 update and mine is still cutting volume when streaming from the phone.

In an *attempt* to give myself the best odds, I unpaired the phone before the upgrade and paired again after - same problem as before. Much sadness.

That definitely sucks! I would try rebooting the MCU and see if that makes any difference.

I tried this and at first it was working. Once I Ieft the car and returned it went right back to killing the volume whenever a new track begins playing

UPDATE:
I'm on Android and downloaded the Volume Lock app. Works great. The Tesla audio system is still trying very hard, but the Volume Lock app wins the battle. lol

Aha! Thank you for the tip. I got "Volume Lock" app, hope thats the right one.

Re: after reboot of MCU- thats why I thought the car was fixed... it worked great then, but returned to bad form after a few uses.

THANK YOU FUEXMO!

I tried the app you suggested and it mostly worked. If I had the volume high, it would still reduce about 20%, but it was not the normal 80% reduction. I was concerned though about other bluetooth items and possible impact, so I found another app that allowed a profile setting specific to each individual bluetooth item. I found one: "Bluetooth Volume Manager" by darken. You have to buy the pro version to lock the audio, but it works perfect and no ads (the other one had a ton unless you bought pro for more money than this one).

Regardless of the app, unless Tesla fixes their issue, a volume lock/manager is the key for Android!

Turns it off every time the car shuts off, all day. I hate it. Almost as bad the dam music screen that appears on every start up.
Sorry Tesla, I'm deaf, I dont listen to music. I need volume on 10 when phone rings.
