I have a Garmin 340 panel and the installer put a music input jack for
it. So, I tried plugging my portable MP3 player output into the music
jack. At maximum volume on the MP3 player, the music was almost
completely inaudible. Does the signal need to be pre amplified in some
way, or did the installer mess something up?

I use both a satellite radio receiver (XM, Delphi Roady 2) and an MP3
player with my GMA340. The MP3 player is normally set to about 3/4 high
volume to hear it comfortably, whereas the satellite radio has to have the
audio output (a setting within that receiver) bumped up two levels from my
truck's setting for comfortable listening.

FWIW...

BTW, the lack of a way to disable the auto-mute when receiving radio
communications (not talking about the intercom mute, which has been
disabled) makes listening to music while in busy airspace difficult.

Certain PS Engineering and the re-branded Bendix/King audio panels have the
ability to disable this auto-mute feature, making the music input feature
much more practical.
