R56 Auxiliary Input Volume too Low

Auxiliary Input Volume too Low
Hi. Is there an internal volume control for the auxiliary input jack. I have XM plugged into it and the volume is very low. So low that when I switch to CD or Tuner I have to crank down the volume to avoid blowing speakers. Has anyone experienced this and is this a dealer issue? Thanks in advance.

the volume is fine for me when i'm using my ipod, but i'm not wanting it to be too loud. when i'm using the ipod i have the volume of the ipod turned all the way up. that's how i did it in my old car also, it seems to be the same loudness in the mini as it was in the civic with an aftermarket cd player. i only used the cd player once so i'm not sure if it is a lot louder than the aux input

There are two kinds of cables for connect the iPod to the AUX. There is one that connects to the dock connector, and one that connects to the headphone jack. Which one do you have?
If you have the dock connector, I can understand why it is not very loud.

On my 05 with AUX input, you can adjust the volume level of the input thruogh the headunit. Get into where you adjust bass/treble/balance etc and keep pushing it till it says AUX LEVEL with a number. (I think thats what it says...something to that effect). Then just turn the volume **** to increase the number. Worked for me.

This isn't for the OP, but for the ipod issue, at least for later gen models.
Under settings, you can adjust the maximum allowable volume of the ipod. If you increase this, when you turn the volume up on the ipod, you don't have to turn the stereo up quite as high.
But in the case of XM or the ipod, it is a very common issue of the source volume being weak. The same thing happens e.g. on my home stereo with the ipod linked by the aux.

Anybody have a home docking stereo, etc, who can testify?

I'm not finding this. I have the HIFI and NAV. The only volume setting I see for the AUX is the speed-dependent volume that increases volume as speed increases. Where is the input volume setting for the AUX on the R56 with HIFI and NAV?

Sorry, I'm not sure. I don't have NAV.

I have no NAV and no HiFi. This is how I get great sound from my auxiliary-jacked iPod in my Mini:
When using the auxiliary jack for the iPod, there are three places to adjust volume (depending on your adapter brand, possibly only 2).
1) Belkin adapter, on the adapter bulb there is a volume control. I recommend this adapter for this reason.
Here's a link to the Belkin adapter:

2) Auxiliary mode volume: choose auxiliary jack for your input, you will see an "Aux-Vol" option--choose this by pressing the horizontal bar, and turn it up to max.

On the auxiliary mode, press the horizontal button:
Then you should see a volume bar you can turn up:
3) Turn the main volume **** up.
Enjoy!!
I've listened to a cd, then turned the same song on from my iPod just after--sounds the same.
