IPOD question

Okay, well Steve did my IPOD intergrad yesterday and just wondering who has this done, is the sound lower than the other types of media, I mean when I turn it off and then go to CD, the CD is so much louder! The IPOD is turned up to the highest setting before installing the intergration cable... just wondering?

I don't have the integration. Just using my aux connection by the glove compartment.I still have to turn up the ipod and sound is loud/good or decent enough for my taste,way better than just listening to the radio or cd.

on my car, with the iPod's volume turned up to the max position and playing through the aux input, the iPod's volume sounds about the same as the radio and cd changer

The volume level seems to be consistent between CD and AUX, however, when I have the radio on AUX (for the IPOD), I don't get sounds out of my passenger side speaker (in LOGIC SURROUND SOUND MODE). When I put it on "STANDARD", I get sounds, but it just doesn't sound balanced, as if it is louder on the driver's side than the passanger side.

Anyone else experience this?

I just tested my ipod integration kit installed by Steve & Dean over the weekend and the sound level is the same between CD and the ipod. However, when I completely turned off the ignition, the Ipod still show Charging status. Is this normal? I don't want to drain the battery this way.
