My only issue with it is the volume level is kinda low. (really only a problem with one podcast that I listen to because it consistently is recorded with a low volume) No real complaints with the sound quality, but I'm not an audiophile. It's "good enough".
It definitely plays through the stereo speakers, and I would imagine that it's using the amp in the factory radio. The BT module just disables the radio whenever there is BT audio (either from streaming, or from a phone call).
I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love that it was an included option on the car, and it works pretty seamlessly. I hate that it has a volume button that's hidden under the steering wheel, and the volume level isn't what it should be, and you can't control the volume with the volume knob on the radio.
Overall, for what the car is, and it's price point... it works.
Sometimes the volume adjustment for a bluetooth device is on the device itself. Have you tried adjusting the phone volume while paired with bluetooth?
