    It happens to me too—when I'm listening to music, the volume is perfect, but if I stop the music, the volume drops significantly. Of course, I stop the music from the phone by pausing the track, without touching the volume controls. I’ve always thought this was related to the intercom, which is connected to both the motorcycle and the phone (iPhone). If the music is playing when a notification from the app comes in, the music volume lowers a lot and the navigation voice comes through clearly. Everything works perfectly—until I stop the music.

      @Peter-Zehentreiter, When I change the slider of the in-app volume setting, the OS system Media Volume changes accordingly. It is one and the same sound channel. When I change that slider while a BT headset is connected. The smame slider does affect the BT volume, just like what happens with the volume up and down buttons. Even the volume change graphic from Android itself is displayed over the app...

      And when you use the volume buttons to change the volume, the slider in the app changes accordingly, and in menu you show above the media channel is the one changed. So to me, really, the in-app slider has no function at all, since everyone uses volume buttons, much easier.

      @Con-Hennekens What you're explaining is correct, but if I turn down my Sena volume using the Wonderwheel, for example, the voice prompt from the MRA app is also reduced. However, if I then want to increase the volume using the Wonderwheel, it no longer works.

      To make the MRA volume louder again, I have to go into the system settings on my Android phone.

      Before the update that did not happen.

        @Peter-Zehentreiter, So the Whonderwheel has influence on your Sena volume? That's new to me... But does the Wonderwheel lower your Sena or your Android volume? Do you use a Carpe Iter BMW control or a Wunderlinq or something? I would disable it in the MRA app system setting (select disabled in the setting), to deduct if it's the MRA app lowering the volume, or some device changing the volume directly from within Android system or on your Sena.

        I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

        Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

          @Con-Hennekens My Bluetooth connections are set up as follows:

          My helmet with Sena is connected to the TFT of the GS 1250, and my phone is also connected to the TFT of the GS 1250.

          The volume of the Sena (mesh) can be easily increased and decreased using the Wonderwheel (this has been working for about two years).

          When I use the Sena volume up and down buttons on my helmet, the volume bar on the TFT also synchronizes.

          I can also adjust the volume of the music played on my phone (played via Sena).

          No Carpe Iter or Wunderlinq, just BMW standard.

          I also have the SilverFox C1 (but in my opinion, it has nothing to do with it).

          It would be ideal if you could adjust the volume independently in the MRA app. (See screenshot from the speed camera app)Screenshot_20250630-154404.png

            @Con-Hennekens : Hi Con, the "Sena whonderweel" capture the BT Device Audio strengt. But the MyrouteAPP is running under phone settings. In fact, if you use automatic volume control in Sena 30k . Your sena lower down, after and after the voice of myrouteAPP get more and more quiet. In my Car with Carpuride I use the lower power Music button. the voice lower down. But when I get louder the BT Device stearing will not push up the audio of the MyrouteAPP.

              @Westerwald_Rider AAh, interesting, I thought that was what happened when I lowered the volume with the Wonderwheel.
              But I've also been having problems with it for the last four days and could only turn it back up via the system settings.

                It would have been ok to have a boost function and really boost the audio over the maximum threshold.

                  Boosting Audio can only be done by lowering other sources. It would be great if Google added a seperate speech channel in Android, like they did in Android Auto...

                  Nice, but that seems to be an MRA app independent feature to me.
                  Setups like this have already coupled 4 BT devices into one knot. It is bound to go wrong sooner or later. That is what I call the "extra layer of complexity" when it comes to AA/CP solutions. I am an IT guy but no gadget freak 😉 . That being said, of course I hope you will find a solution for this strange behavior.

                    @Con-Hennekens I think I've figured out what's wrong and how to prevent the MRA app from turning down the volume on its own.

                    If I set Intelligente Lautstärkesteuerung" to "off" in the Sena app, I can still adjust the volume with the Wonderwheel.

                    The volume slider in the MRA app and the volume slider of the Android settings remain at maximum volume, no matter what volume I set with the Wonderwheel.

                      HHello Peter,

                      thanks a lot. Your solution sounds linke a workaround. I check it out. But what happend in my Car? I don't know.
                      I'm just wondering why now? It didn't do that in an older version. Okay there were other problems. Like freezing, hangup during navigation. Or MRA wanted to go home right away. (no joke, it went around the block once, destination reached.)
                      With the new version on Android and Samsung S20 FE it drives me crazy. And my phone heats up. Even though it hangs in the wind .
                      It seems the better way I use my old Garmin during a longer ride. It got a lot of lacks but all navigation command are loud and correct.

                      have a good ride

                        @Westerwald_Rider I am pretty happy with MRA … just had a 4 days trip in Slowenia.
                        Without problems except the loudness issue( which is in my opinion resulting because of wrong adjustment in the Sena App)
                        The other problems you are mentioning are NOT existing on my side.
                        If you want.. we can talk together via phone and I‘ll let you know me secrets 😉
                        I assume you are German so we could talk in German which makes it easier.

                          Or MRA wanted to go home right away. (no joke, it went around the block once, destination reached.)

                          That happened to me too... I forgot to disable "start at closest waypoint" 😉
                          (this was in Westerwald actually, Freudenberg 😉 ).

                          I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                          Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.
