Default Z2 in Car via Auxiliary In

Go the Z2 last week,and paired it up with my SE215's and it sounds great! But when I connect it to my car using the Aux In, i have to nearly have the car stereo's volume all the way. Any good recommendations on amps?

I mostly listen to a wide variety of music, but mostly EDM, Rock/Alternative

thx all

I'm the same way in my car, had to revert to using my Fiio E5 portable amp to boost the audio in my vehicle (costs less than ~$25)

Cowon seem reluctant to provide a proper line out on their products. Sony and Apple manage it. I am wondering whether there is a line out option through USB as Android supports it. It depends whether the necessary drivers are installed, so I'm guessing it's a no. There must be audio out through HDMI, but not sure whether it's suitable.

Edit: If you use PowerAmp, there is a setting in the Advanced Tweaks section of the Audio Engine labelled Direct Volume Control. Checking it will hugely increase the volume...
