Volume control with Bluetooth audio

So I just got a new phone (Xperia TL) and am having volume issues. Whenever it is connected via Bluetooth, the HU does not allow me to control the volume. I don't remember this being an issue on my old phone or my GFs. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I have the same problem with my Droid X.

Not sure it works with all phones but I can adjust it if I'm really quick about it right after first switching to BT on the radio. Then the phone takes over control, which provides limited up/down movement. Others have reported here that that works as well.

Thanks Dadhawk. I'll give it a shot. Better to crank it too loud and turn it down on the phone then struggle to hear.

Just an update for anyone with the issue. I was able to adjust the volume when on the BT option on the HU as long as my phone was not connected. Didn't matter if it was right before or I was just sitting there messing with it.
