You sure it's not your Bluetooth source?
I run my Vibrant through Bluetooth on my 2010 GT with Sync and it sounds the same as going thorugh the line in or playing from the USB.

I'm not sure, maybe it's because the iPhone is a POS but there is a HUGE quality difference and I'm not even an audiophile type but it's clear as day. Even at full volume with bluetooth audio it's sounds teeny, no bass AT ALL, sounds lossy. And the kicker I can listen to it at full volume and it doesn't even sound that loud to me....as soon as I switch the source to USB audio its so loud it rattles the windows/rear view mirror and I can literally feel the bass booming through my body like a heartbeat.

Would have responded sooner but just worked 32 hours in the last 48 hours. Kinda wiped out.

Just because one source is louder does not mean it is higher quality. Although when I tried both the USB did sound noticeably better (it wasn't a huge difference, bluetooth still sounded better than satellite radio).
