Default iOS 7 and Bluetooth streaming...

Anyone notice a severe drop in audio volume after updating to iOS 7? Have iPhone5 updated - volume dropped dramatically, Mini that has been affected also.. However, I have 2 iPhone4(s) and another Mini that are still on iOS6 and there is no issue. The iPhone5 volume was trouble free prior to updating..

Oddly enough, when I sample music in the iTunes store on the iPhone5 - streaming to the Jeep via Bluetooth - the volume seems fine, but download the sampled song and stream you have to crank to 30 or above to hear it...

i noticed on mine that the name of the person calling finally shows on the headunit... i haven't tried streaming music yet, but it's always been quieter than mp3s on the HDD.

Tested again last night - with two phones one with iOS7 and one with iOS6 - there is a difference. Made sure all volumes were turned up on the phones, sound check was turned off in settings, EQ set the same on both phones and listening to the same song on each phone..
I also had the same song set on the HDD and the USB. Switching between each of the sources with the same volume set on the radio.

Results for all 4 sources - HDD and USB seem to be the same volume, iOS6 was lower than each of the drives, and iOS7 was the lowest..Odd..

As a side note, I noticed that Voice Control works on all sources except the HDD - went and checked the documentation, and sure enough it states VC works for iPod, Disc, USB - No HDD? Huh? Who decided that was a good idea?

And who do we lobby for support for mp3 tags rather than Gracenotes?
