Afternoon all Is it possible to have your bluetooth set up so it also plays the music off your iphone and not just having it set as calls? Just a thought!

Cheers

i believe so. Is it not listed in the "media" option on the headunit?

I can get the iphone to pair with the bluetooth but it wont play the music off my iphone! I maybe doing something wrong though!!

I think you need the right module to do it. Mine comes up with bt audio in the top right of bolero

My Amundsen+ does it with my iPhone4. Once the bluetooth pairing has been done, selecting the iPhone in the Media screen puts the phone into iPod mode, then its in charge of what track is playing. Never have to bother with the MDI interface.

If you have maxidot you have to select the device as a media player through the Bluetooth settings, I'm sure that's what I had to do for my iPhone to play music. Hope that helps

Hi I can see the BT function on the top right of the display but it is always not lit up like the other functions but i can use the iphone to make calls!!...i'll go in to the Bluetooth settings and see what i can do.

What headunit do you have? Works out of the box with Bolero for example.

So, I've a FL Octy with a Bolero and Maxidot and then I've added a 5K0 bluetooth.

On the maxidot, under settings somewhere there's an option to allow music streaming - make sure that's turned on (the PDF manual i have for the octavia page 130 suggests it's Phone/Bluetooth/Media player).

The Bolero also has a switch - the (pdf) manual suggests this is Setup/Media/Activate Bluetooth audio.

Then there's bound to be something on the phone. I've got an HTC and even when it's paired (for phone calls) the button on the (media) screen for BT is not enabled. However, if i then start playing music on the phone, it does become active, and i can press the BT button on the Bolero to make the sound transfer to the head unit.

Hope this helps

You need the D or better bluetooth module, and simply pair it to your device. You can enable all device sounds too, so you can get txt sounds / rings or whatever, It's awesome for audiobooks!

Right managed to get it to work But what a faff!! If i have to do that every time i'll not bother!! I also discovered that you can use the rocker switch to change the track when its playing off an SD card...but i cant remember i how i did it now!!!

I have the Fiscom fitted for the blue tooth, but had to enter a set up code to enable the BT audio to work off my HTC one X, works fine now in stereo.

To move the tracks on the SD card, move the maxi dot to show the audio setting on the wiper stick, then you can move to the next track by just pushing the end button on the end of the wiper stick.

Mine plays BT audio from my iPhone 4. Defaults to the iPod function first but once I press play on spotify it'll stream that instead and the stalks will skip tracks in it too

The "BT Audio" option doesn't show up on my Swing unless I play something on the iPhone first.
