PDC and gong (chime) volume very low

BDO · 03-18-2015, 12:27 PM

I had a dealer do a software upgrade (I-Step upgrade) on my car today as it's never been updated before.

When the car returned, I noticed that the volume of the PDC and the gong is way too low. No problem, I'll adjust it in the iDrive settings - however, even when turning it up to its loudest settings, it is still very low (but the control does work, as it increases/decreases).

What can I do to make it louder - like it used to be before?

I had a software upgrade not to long ago, but I haven't noticed any difference in the PDC and gong volume.

I'd definitely like to make it louder if possible. Can this be done via coding?

Also, my Q7 automatically turns down the music volume when PDC is engaged. Is there any way to enable this?
