Help, iPhone volume too low
I've tried everything I've read on the forum. When I have the IPhone blue toothed in my car I have to turn up the radio all the way up. I went to my computer and made sure under options I had the Volumn up to 100%.
I know it is the IPhone because I have the same issue with my Bluetooth ear buds. My friend told me to throw away the IPhone and get an Android but the IPhone is a work issued phone.
Any suggestions?

Reboot the phone by pressing the side button and the Siri button together for about 10 seconds. If that does not work, google "iphone low volume" and you will get numerous solutions.

I know it has already been said but I had the same problem. You have to turn the iPhone volume up by using the buttons on the side of the phone. You must do this when you are actually using it, such as listening to music etc over Bluetooth. My apologies if you have already tried it.

the problem is other apps are taking up volume "time" on the iPhone. Double click the home button on the iPhone and then close all apps by swiping up. Then open just the music app and see if that helps. If you want to see which app is causing it, play music through your car and after you double click the home button twice, keep the music playing and start closing all other apps 1 at a time while paying attention to the sound level of the music...

Every time you pair an iPhone to a new car it sets the volumes to default levels (I know this as I pair my phone for music at work on the M-plates all the time).
You MUST in each app, manually (while the app is running) raise the volume to MAX. Also, you can remove the "Volume Limit" in settings to get it higher (I leave mine on due to it being useful with headphones and NOT blowing my ears out).
The reason is that a direct connection DOESN'T use the "amplified" and equalized sound that the headphone jack does (or Bluetooth) and therefore you have a "cleaner sound" over USB. You can "fix this" by turning off the equalizer, removing the volume limit, and setting to max volume, but obviously this makes using headphones a no go...
