Hi,

I have been playing with my mobile phone HTC One X, running Google Maps Navigator as a sat nav.

I purchased the HTC cradle for the mobile, it puts it into "CAR" mode when docked, bluetooth on etc etc.

It all seems to work very well but with one slight problem.

When the lady speaks directions, it goes via Bluetooth to the Bolero and the sound comes out of the speakers.

However, the first say 1/2 second of each sentence is lost as the Bolero ramps volume from zero to normal.

After that 1/2 second sound is OK and I can get the whole sentence.

Any way to stop this volume ramping/clipping ?

Have I missed a setup parameter somewhere ?

I suspect it's on the Bolero and not the HTC.

Thanks.

If I use just the HTC speaker it's too quiet even on max volume, hence my wish to use Bolero/Bluetooth.

I had a similar problem in another vehicle with first part of the instruction being lost. Turned out that the bluetooth was having to be reactivated / reconnected each time as it was dropped a short while after each instruction had finished.

One way to overcome it was to keep music streaming from the phone to the HU and then the connection was always active.

I know it doesn't directly help you out, but might give you a clue so you can find a way around it.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I have been doing some google searches on this topic and it seems quite a few people have the same problem with a variety of handsets and vehicles.

It's not just me with my HTC 1 X & Bolero !
