I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S9+. I also have an old Note 5. When the S9 is connected to my car via bluetooth and is playing music (usually Pandora), the volume knob on my car does not work and I have to adjust the volume using the S9's volume keys, which is annoying. This does not happen with the Note 5 is connected to my car via bluetooth and playing music, i.e., I can adjust the volume with the knob on the car. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm not sure it matters, but the car is a 2017 Mercedes GLS450. Thanks in advance.

Go to Settings->Bluetooth. There's a three-dot menu at the top right. Turn off Media Volume Sync.

I just recently Got my Note 2 a few days ago. The only complaint i really have is the volume control when using the headphone jack, I never use headphones, but i do use the jack to play music through my car stereo. When i unplug it and plug it in the volume drops to half (probably for hearing safety). Is there a way to override or disable this?
Try volume control+ from play store. I didnt test it on note2 but worked great on tmobile g2

I use Tasker to set my volume levels when I plug my headphones or my car aux cable in. It shows the hearing damage warning, but it sets the volume right where I want it.
Thanks Guys I will look into them. Much appreciated.

Can you post how you set the values maybe a screen shot? I can't seem figure out exactly what to set.
Car Audio profile using Headset Plugged state with No Mic option. (that's how it knows the difference between my headphones, and my car's auxiliary cord)
That enables Car Mode which sets the current Media Volume to a variable, then sets the Media Volume to 15.
Exit task sets it back to the value in the variable, which is what it was before I plugged in the Aux cable.
It had problem the volume does not turn down with headset for Samsung galaxy with 10c ROM.
Now with 10m ROM, the problem seems to be fixed.
Which headset with volume control is compatible with Samsung Galaxy devices?
In addition, headsets designed for HTC also works properly (but track control acts as volume control).
Let's list the compatible headset.
I can say for 100% my apple ear buds from my iPad DO NOT work with any controls on this phone ?

This may be a dumb question, but did you try turning up the volume on the phone? I know my phone likes to reset the volume to really low when my car connects sometimes. After I turn the volume back up on the phone it's plenty loud in my car stereo.
Failing that, there's a "Disable absolute Volume" option for Bluetooth audio in developer options you could try.
This happens to me when I have connected to my bluetooth headphones and turned the volume down. When I connect again in the car the volume stays at what the headphones were at and I have to turn the volume up on the phone. After that it sticks until I use my headphones again.

Ok let me try option. Thanks.
Headsets tend to control the bt volume on the phone. Cars often have their own volume and don't send volume commands to the phone.

I agree, I've found myself turning the car volume up 3-4 more turns than I used to. Not a huge deal, but definitely noticeable.
I've noticed the same thing on my Pixel XL while on bluetooth in my car but I'm also using the new Android Auto app as well.
Yesterday i noticed that while driving home from work i had low volume on my music (Car radio & phone were max volume) but while using Google Play music it went to a commercial (Don't pay for it) and started went very loud. After the commercial was over it went back to low volume?
Does this remind anyone of the TV commercial having loud volume issue to get your attention?
Can anyone confirm my suspicion?
Bluetooth gain/volume has always been an issue for me.
I make a lot of DIY portable bluetooth speakers as a hobby and BT input volume is a huge issue compared vs. analog input.
I finally found a Chinese BT amplifer manufacturer who was willing to mod their amp's BT input with higher gain. This helped considerably.
My old JVC car stereo was awful. I was always having to boost the BT output gain.
My 2015 Kia Optima's Infinity stereo doesn't have the same issue. BT volume is fine.
If you are willing to root and try a mod on your phone, the Viper4Android mod lets you raise Bluetooth gain:

Hope this helps.

This is not working. Hopefully the update will resolve this.
I just bought this off of amazon and it arrived today. (It's a $25 Soundpeats bluetooth headphone).
After pairing it with my XL, I am greeted with trash sound quality when playing some music on Spotify. The headphone would distort when I'm turning up the volume via my phone. In no way am I blasting the volume (it's at 50% and it's still distorting like crazy). At first I thought it might've been a ViPER issue and turned off all the effects that I had on previously. Still no luck.
Next, I tried lowering the volume via phone and increased the volume of the headphone itself all the way.. And that's when I realized that the volume between the headphone and system were synced up. Whenever I increased the volume via headphone, the system volume would increase as well. Is there a way to keep the headphone volume and system media volume separate? Or is this something built-in with the headphones?
I tried pairing the headphones with my brother's Galaxy S8+, and volume controls for the headphones and system were separate! I turned the headphone volume all the way to max and controlled the volume mainly via the phone. Played a couple of songs off his S8+ using Spotify as well and I was able to achieve way better sound quality and louder volumes without distortion at all.
I figured that this might be software specifically related to the Pixel that's causing this. Anyone happen to have any ideas on what I could possibly do?
I'm trying to adopt to Bluetooth to be ready for the 2 XL, but so far the transition has been nothing but frustration.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I use Volume Butler from the playstore, it works great for exactly what you are describing.
I have noticed that when either connected to Bluetooth headphones or streaming to my car stereo that I am having to turn the volume up to nearly 90% just to get a reasonable volume.
Any work around for this ?

Yea I have a pair of wireless beatsx, but those headphones are junk anyway. Can not get them "loud". Maybe its the phone/bluetooth..
I noticed the same thing when I first paired the 7t with my car's BT. I don't consider it a problem because all I had to do was raise the volume on the car radio, and it remembered the setting. But I'm only listening to navigation prompts and voice phone calls. I haven't tried it with music.
Anyone solved this problem?
While using headphones or any audio-bt devices connected to oneplus 7t i can get only around 70-80% of max device volume.
My bluetooth can get painfully loud on any system... Are you sure you are not facing to sets of volume controls?
Some "dumb" headphones / speakers just have one output volume and you control loudness via the phone volume. Others have their own volume processing (like a car stereo). If you max out your phone volume then you can control the loudness via the stereo.
Numerous times I've been in the car and can't figure out why I need to turn the stereo volume up so high only to realize I've bumped the phone volume to a low setting.
