Default Front parking sensor volume is quiet compared to the rear.

Anyone know how to adjust the front parking sensor volume? It is really quiet compared the rear sensor volume which come out of my audio system speakers.
BTW, my speaker in the dash for seatbelt warnings have never worked since I bought the car and I never minded that.

Can you turn up the radio volume when the park sensors are making noise?
That's how I get the navigation voice to change volume too. Wait until it starts talking and then adjust the radio volume knob.

the volume knob doesnt work the same way for the parking sensors.

you have to go into vehicle settings > sounds (or volumes)....and you will see the setting for parking sensors. although you cannot control front and back independently. the setting adjusts both

Interesting! I was just noticing the same thing, only mine seems to be louder with the front sensors than the rear. Maybe we go play with our fade/balance settings on the stereo?

stupid me, i forgot to mention the most important detail....the sound comes from the speakers that correlates to the sensor. front sensor sounds come from the front driver speaker...........rear sensors come from the rear driver speaker.........thats why you hear the difference

For what ever reason the sound is very low for the front speakers almost like they aren't working out of the front speakers for what ever reason. I did put in a new amp but haven't programmed it as I was afraid to bork it like the last one. But I will try again. I have the balance/fader in the center position so there might be an issue because I haven't programmed the amp yet.

I never paid that much attention to it till this post, but yes, that makes sense now. Turning the volume while its beeping works. I tried the fade just in case I could report back anything useful to the OP and that didn't seem to affect anything.
