Help Audio volume in car.

[tdehan]

I just replaced my iPhone 6s+ with a new Galaxy Note 8. Something that is bothering me is playing music from my phone to my 2017 Outback stereo via blue tooth. I don't believe this has anything to do with Bluetooth.

Here's the issue:
on my iPhone the minute the phone and the car stereo sync when I get into the vehicle, the volume on the phone is automatically adjusted so that I don't have to either turn up the volume on the phone or the volume on the car stereo. It remembers what the setting was.

On the Note 8, I need to turn the phone volume all the way up in order to have the ability to adjust the car volume appropriately. And because the volume on the phone is all the way up, I need to turn it way down when I am not in the vehicle.

Also the Note 8 warns me each time I adjust the volume up on it.

Is there not a way to get the phone to auto adjust it's volume to match my car stereo as there is with the iPhone?

I remember seeing a setting in the music app to remember volume. Check through the settings in the music app and see if you have it. If not consider getting an app that does that

I don't see any setting like that in the music app.

The sound really is not great with the new Android through the car stereo system. I have the EQ set to flat on the Galaxy Note 8 same as I have on my iPhone which sounds fantastic through my car stereo.

This is really disappointing and frustrating.

Any recommendations?
