Default Bluetooth volume

Is there a hidden system menu I can access to turn down the default ring volume for Bluetooth? It is so loud it scares the crap out of me and my wife.

I know I can turn the volume down with the stereo volume but once you make a call and turn the volume up to hear someone talk, it then rings loud again.

Thanks!

The following link refers to the BT bonding tone volume but I think it's the same as the ring volume...

When I first got mine same thing kept happening. There is no actual way to set the incoming ring volume which obviously doesn't make alot of sense.

Two ways to improve the problem though:

1. Turn down the phone volume considerably from steering wheel or MMI right at the end of a phone call. Next call will ring in softer.

2. Hit voice recognition button on steering wheel while driving and there is a loud beep followed by the woman's voice. Contol the volume so the beep is barely audible (along with the woman's voice) and this should also quiet your next incoming call. The nice thing about this is if you think you forgot to turn down your last phone call you can lower the volume on the woman's voice to guard against a future 700 decibal ring.

It takes some tinkering and getting used to but it should help. Good Luck!
