    I only here sound from the passenger speaker. Is that the way it is or should it be through all speakers?

    I should of mentioned that I just have the stock head unit. I wonder if that makes a difference.

    i have a gts with blutooth, this should only come out one speaker! i checked with mitsu. if you install aftermarket then will go out all speakers.

    Guys, the sound setup for bluetooth and the radio are seperate, for example you can have the bluetooth volume very low and the radio very high and it will switch it on its own without having to adjust the volume.

    Turn on your bluetooth and go into the sound settings on your car and move the dials so that is plays evenly through the car if thats what you want. It should work.

    I have 08 Lancer GTS with Navigation and premium sound. All bluetooth sound only comes from the passenger side speaker. Its very annoying since I have to turn the volume up really high to hear it -- I'd much prefer it in the driver's speaker.

    When I go to sound settings with the bluetooth system activated, all the speaker options are grayed out and I can't adjust the levels. The only thing that works is the volume control which, as you said, is independent of the "main" volume control. I'm glad to finally have confirmation from someone else that it is only coming from the passenger side... at least I know i'm not alone!

    Check to see when you are playing music if you fade it left or right if it sends the signal the right way. Some slacker may have mis-wired the left and right speaker wires and that is causing it.

    That suck Brian360. I was starting to think that I needed the nav and premium sound to get it through all speakers. Like you I'm glad to know it's not just me.


    Thanks for the suggestion Bill. I tried setting the speakers to the drivers side (which all of that works fine) while listening to the radio and then switching to bluetooth. It still only comes out the passenger speaker. I can't adjust the balance or fade while in bluetooth mode.

    Works fine -- the fader and balance controls shift to the correct speakers. The "Speaker Test" option in the service menu (hold SET+NAVI) plays out the correct speakers as well. Also voice guidance plays thru only the drivers speaker (leaving the music going thru the rest of the speakers). Its just the bluetooth system that plays thru the passenger side only.

    Does anybody have the wiring diagram for the bluetooth module? Maybe its going to the wrong side of an input to the head unit/amp somewhere?

    I'm having the same issue, I can't really find a way to change the settings through the MMC either. I figured it should play through all the speakers not just one. I understand the nav system coming through the driver's side but the BT is a lot tougher to hear and I find myself constantly leaning over while I am driving, not really much safer IMO :evil:

    oh yeah thats right. I remember the post u put up earlier. Im thinking of dwn sizing the stock radio to the basics to make it as small as possible and then tuck it away with a single spkr mounted(hidden) somewhere where you can hear it and meter the a mute wire off the stock radio so it can mute the aftrmrkt radio. Alittle work but pac doesnt make an adpter yet.
