Built in Bluetooth

[Graemeb_dj]

Hey,

What do you guys who have built in bluetooth think of it ?

A wished it had a control either on cd player or on the steering wheel to command your phone book, the voice activated is useless.

 

[garethrobson]

Its ok, nothing special tbh. Only got it because i ordered a stock car. Its handy when somebody calls you to be able to just answer it easily, but pretty useless at making calls.

at first i didnt like it! its brilliant to have when talking but i couldnt get a name stored in my phone book and if i did it didnt work due to the ammount of "4****" that were there! but once i found the right way of staying "store" its perfect.. no need for button controls i just wish it recieved my my phone book instead of putting them in! but never mind!! i love it

Yes I think it is also good, the only problem for me is that you can't connect 2 phones at once to it.

You have to say the names with spanish accent

 

[andy15star]

Yep, you gotta say the word "STORE" as "STUUUUUUUR" !!!! - it's weird!. But it all works fine now and gets the ID from the phone as to who you're ringing/or who's ringing you. Wish it was able to link to a Bluetooth Audio player though !!!!!!!!!!!!!, that way we wouldn't need the (costly) option of USB !

Does this mean that I'm not able to play music from my mobile phone through car speakers?

 

[andy15star]

Hi there Hustle, you can play music from an mp3 player etc, but you need to plug it into the AUX IN socket (near the gearstick), and it does indeed come through the car speakers.

I was referring to the car radio not being able to pull in Bluetooth Audio (wirelessly) from a bluetooth mp3 player.

All the best,
Andy

Yes, I was referring to the same thing! My dealer told me that it can play music through bluetooth from my mobilephone.. nice... We'll see when my car arrives..

 

[andy15star]

Ah sorry Hustle, i misread there !. Yeah apparently the car radio is not A2DP compatible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Advanced_Audio_Distribution_Profile_.28A2DP.29). You need it to be before it will link to a Bluetooth mp3 player (or phone). I tried my Samsung Bluetooth mp3 player, wouldn't work

Is it the same women that is on the Leon bluetooth? She drives me mad with her "pardon" "and "the name doesn't exists" YES IT DOES EXIST!!!!!

lol I've had plenty of slanging matches with her

 

[andy15star]

Yeah, you say "CANCEL", she says "DIALLING... 999" !!!

lol it's like having a second wife!

 

[warren_cox]

Certainly a system that is far from perfected.

My BT didn't like the commands

Four - (when dialling a number through voice activation) - always thought it was STAR

Cancel - Would do almost anything but

Dial number - Would do almost anything but

The BT drops out intermittently when I lose phone signal, and to top it all off, when I raised it as an issue at Audi they replaced the armrest (with the wrong one ), and I now have a footplate DTC error code and guess what... the voice commands don't work at all!!!

I miss my arguments with BT woman, but you'll be pleased to know it's the same issue right across the VAG car groups!

ooooooooooh!, don't let her sign into here ! haha !!!

Andy

Can somone confirm this?

 

[andy15star]

I read it somewhere (it might have been the manual, possibly??). But after a LOT of research i found out that it wasn't A2DP compatible, at least for my mk5 July 08 Ibiza Sport 1.6 radio !

Andy
