Rapid Phone Bing Bongs

[PJR77]

Hi all,

 

After two Fabias I now have a Spaceback. Very pleased apart from one thing..

 

The dealer 'paired' my phone and ever since I get an infuriating loud Bing Bong after turning on the engine. This appears to be the car doing an electronic 'handshake' with my phone.

I've not yet found anything in the manual to tell me how to turn off this feature, or to reduce the volume. Am I stuck with it, as with the frost warning, or does anyone know if there a way to kill it.

I realise that I can avoid it by not having the phone switched on....

if you find a way to disable this let me know - does my nut in!

[VRSbilly]

VCDS is required to do this....

I especially love the way it cuts out the radio for a good 5 seconds....

Same solution as mentioned here lowering connection sound not killing it works on Rapid. Just tried on mine Spaceback Rapid 4 days old

Mine doesn't do this? I have the Amundsen, don't know if that makes a difference.

I have Swing but did that on MaxiDot

Mine does it ... I've gotten used to it now, but it can be pretty annoying when it cuts the radio off for so long. I'd find the feature *way* more useful if it made that noise if a paired phone is not available, as it would me know pretty quickly that I've left my phone on the desk in work again instead of finding out when I get home

Do you have Maxidot Thecko?

 

Mine tells me "no Bluetooth connection to phone" if it's not there.

Yes mate, my config is Maxidot + Swing stereo.

Thanks everyone. Will try lowering the volume via the ringtone.

 

Now I have the creaking seat belt slider....

[PJR77]

Yes, it works. Sanity restored..for the moment!

Many thanks

[VRSbilly]

Yeah just done it too. Any way to stop it cutting the stereo out?

Yes as previously said VCDS will silence the bong and the radio will also not mute when it connects.

No need VCDS just switch radio swing on, then hold opossite button for several seconds and on display shows hidden menu SETUP. There you can switch off bing bong and no more 5 seconds muted radio. Tested on mine and WORKS
