Torched10 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I bought a smartphoine a few weeks ago and really love it.I always use it in bluetooth mode when im driving the shelby so i can answer phone calls and not worry about shifting.I noticed though that if im in direction mode on the smartphone,and im getting dricing directions in a voice mode, the sound is muted.In looking at it yesterday, when its in bluetooth mode the sound is supposed to comethru the shelby sync system--i cant figure out how to do that-have any of you figured it out--I dont have the GPS?Nav system in my car---thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that with my Factory Nav system, the volume control has to be set WHILE JILL IS TALKING. So for instance, if my radio is at...let's say "5" and Jill starts talking but she's at 1 or 2, I can barely hear her. So WHILE SHE'S TALKKING I use the steering wheel volume control and raise HER voice. It doesn't raise the radio volume, only the NAV volume. Oh, and now that I think about it, same with my Smartphone (HTC Thunderbolt) volume when on the phone via Bluetooth. It has a separate volume setting that only gets set when in use. Try that, use your volume control WHEN YOUR NAV IS TALKING. The one on the wheel (I've never tried it with the one on the dash).

My phone is paired with my car and I do all the functions through bluetooth,, I even listen to stuff on you tube sometimes. So if you can't do all this with your Droid, something is def. Wrong. I would check and make sure your media volume on the phone is all the way up for starters. GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the droid issue, ive. adjusted the volume all the way up and its mute--it says as i adjusted the volume, playing thru the headset.Are you using a headset,because the Vz folks rold me about the software issue i postedThe key is if you have the bluetooth connected to sync as a phone AND your getting directions from google navigation and you have an app like a zune or Ipod--is that what your doing --it sound slike your using the droid for music,which is not what Im doing--thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
