https://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/209/209XMCMDMT.PDF           Page 48 of the PDF file.  There are 2 manuals in the file.  It is page 25 of the 2nd manual if you are looking at the page numbers printed on the manual.   When you changed the radio, you probably disconnected the yellow wire of the commander.  It lost it's memory.  When the installer installed the unit initially, he set this control to the proper level.
