You are correct. Most radio stations have their own audio processing that boosts volume with compression and enhances audio with digital processing software. This is why radio stations usually sound big and bold compared to CDs which can sound weak and thin.
My Ti has the MFT system. Is this what you have with your Sony system? Let me know and I will make some suggestions.

It is important to recognize that due to the manner in which different wave frequencies disperse you can only tune your system for the best sound in one position, in my case the driver's position.

A quick way to fiddle with EQ is to load an app called EQu onto your iPhone or, better still, your iPad. Once loaded you can test the effects of different EQ presets on your Sony system while looping a song. EQu is incredibly intuitive in that when you find a preset you like you can drag the EQ line with your finger into any curve you want to fine tune it. The results are immediate and dramatic. When you find the EQ profile you like best you can try to come as close as possible in the albeit limited Sony EQ.
