OWNER ANSWER
Why is Android Auto music quiet in my original BYD SEAL?
Play a track in Android Auto while parked, then roll the centre-console volume wheel forwards while the music is audible. If music stays quiet at a level where the car’s radio sounds normal, compare a second Android Auto app before changing the car’s audio settings.
- Connect Android Auto and play a familiar track. Wait for any navigation prompt or call to finish, then roll the centre-console volume wheel forwards. The BYD handbook shows the wheel beside the gear selector.
- Try another track or media app in Android Auto. If one app sounds much quieter than the others, check that app’s own audio settings.
- Switch to the BYD radio at a comfortable level and compare it with Android Auto. If the issue is with spoken directions instead, adjust during a spoken prompt and listen to the next one. Google says some cars adjust navigation and media separately.
What success looks like
The sound you meant to change becomes easier to hear. If only one app or source stays quiet, you have identified where to look next.
If that did not work
If every Android Auto media app is quiet but the radio sounds normal, try a second compatible Android phone if available. If the problem follows one phone, check its Android Auto and app updates. If both phones behave the same way, ask BYD to check Android Auto media volume on your SEAL’s software version. If the radio is also unusually quiet, ask BYD to check the car’s audio system.
