Audio Quality loss with Sirius XM vs Bluetooth Carplay?

[DirtyMitch]

Sorry if this had already been discussed, but could not find anything by searching. Anyone notice a significant loss in audio quality when listening to Sirius XM vs Bluetooth carplay. I know you always get some loss with bluetooth, but it seems pretty substantial with the base B&O system I have in my Tremor. Really have to crank it up to feel any power from the speakers. Sirius XM on the other hand sounds great at any volume.

Any suggestions on sound settings is appreciated as well!

I have the Unleashed, but its the opposite for me. Bluetooth android auto sounds great, XM sounds like crap. I do have some things tweaked for sound like surround sound on, fade to just behind headrests, and high quality turned on for spotify.

Maybe its just relative and even though my XM sounds bad, carplay is even worse haha. I will double check my Spotify quality though. Thank you!

I had the same issue. Sirius was great, anything over BlueTooth was noticeably worse. I ended up futzing around in the settings for Amazon Music and that fixed it. Did not have this issue in my previous truck (I had a bare bones audio system tho).

I had to turn spotify settings to very high quality on my iphone. Sirius sounded like crap. Pretty disappointed in sound system for being a "premium system". My wifes 2019 mazda 3 has the bose which sounds incredible. For the price of these trucks, they should do better!
