Android Auto Notification Volume

Pancake said:

Don't know if this is a Starlink or Android Auto thing I need to fix, but one of the reasons I pretty much never use Android Auto is that text notifications are loud. Like, ear-piercingly loud.

When I'm in Android Auto, my phone ringer is on silent, my Subaru's SMS/MMS notification sound is at 0, and I'll be listening to music. If a text comes through to my phone, the stereo will play my incoming text noise at full volume. Loud enough for me to unplug the phone and not use Android Auto for a few months.

Is this an issue anyone knows about or can help me remedy?

On the big screen: Settings-Sound-Notification Volume as I recall it has a range of 0-38, sounds like yours is maxed out at 38. Try 15-19, I think you'll like it better. There is also a section under Phone with specific options for Android Auto, you might want to check there, too. I'm not familiar with the Android Auto settings in the car because I have an iPhone. The "Notification Volume" setting I described solved the issue with our iPhones, because you're right initially they were EXTREMELY loud. I'm pretty sure this is a different setting from the SMS/MMS notification you described. Let us know if you have any success.
