The AUX mode on the BMW's radio comes with its own volume adjustment. Has anyone adjusted this and tested the Gateway? Does the Hum go away?

I have a BMW as you describe and I have never really noticed the hum or possibly only at high volumes when a pause in the music. It has never been an annoyance for me. I hope this helps ; )

Yes. Factory Tech. told me to turn the radio on. Turn down the volume. Then rotate tuning knob from stop to stop for about 3 to 5 minutes. If that doesn't work. The radio needed to be sent into the factory for repair.

No, you still have to turn the radio volume up and down on the radio itself. The good thing about it though, is once you find a volume that works on the radio, you can use the MPOW volume control or the volume on the dvice being used to control the volume without worrying about the controls on the radio.

To be honest no I disliked it I had it on my e30 and within like 2 months it's started sounding like a rice rocket. Better to go with a different one. It only sounds good until u break it in , in my opinion

Yeah you can, just go to your Bluetooth settings and it should be an option to change it. But I recommend you get the gogroove Bluetooth audio aux receiver, its way better for the car. I made the switch!

There are two volume settings on the iTour - basic and louder. Your mobile phone (or other input device) is really the way to fine tune the volume.

Ha! So, the question is "how to select the AUX-IN input" the one on the front panel. I just received my amp and the question is still a mystery. It seems to be a dead port. It's not controlled by the Input Selector. And it doesn't seem to override all other signals if connected. And if you've got a manual handy you'll see that Item (16) AUX-IN, is at the very bottom of page 3 and Pyle seems to simply have run out of room for its description. Has anyone gotten it to function?

I had the same issue. I believe it is a function that is not included in the head unit. I just had to get used to it.

If your radio has a "mode" button on it, you can add an aux input relatively easily with a cable that plugs into the back. Search Amazon for an e46 aux cable.

If you have steering wheel controls you just set the iPod volume at a little above midpoint or so and adjust volume with the steering wheel controls as well as the songs changing up or down. Hope this helps.

Yes. I've owned this head unit for about 6 months. Whichever input you set (tuner, aux, Bluetooth, etc.), it will remain on that setting even after turning off and on your vehicle. It's a great unit .... I highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

The Metra retains all of the functionality that was present before installation. Including the delay in turning off the radio after the car is shut down. As far as the chime....I have heard that there was an adjustment one could make to decrease the volume, but I never needed to make that adjustment. With my install the box was situated inside the dashboard behind the radio so I guess that deadened the sound making it comparable to the factory set up. Personally I think it is quieter. Great product. Be sure to get an antenna adapter. Hope this helps.

I get the same thing. Was considering returning the unit because of the aux input noise.

I like this radio a lot, but it is not a high volume radio. In a noisy car, like my old VW Bug, it wouldn't be loud enough. Even in the bathroom, with the shower running, it's barely loud enough.

My husband hooked this unit up according to the instructions provided and all my steering wheel controls work just fine. Based on the radio/cd car unit I purchased, I do not have the option where you can set the volume to go up or down according to how fast I am driving. Hope this helps

I have never heard of this problem. Have you accidentally changed the volume settings for an individual source? If you have verified it's not a setting issue, I'd suggest contacting Alpine. Their tech support is very good.
