Hello everyone, my first post on this forum and of course I have questions

1. Is there a way to set the Aux Bluetooth as the default media source? Currently it always defaults to radio and I have to manually select the Aux BT every time I start the car.
2. Can I get rid of the map "Confirm" button, so I don't have to tap it every time I want to see the map? Ideally it would show the map directly, w/o waiting for confirmation.

Thanks in advance.

 

Would love both those too, but I assume the answer is no.

 

For 2. - press Map button twice and this will also bypass Confirmation dialog.

 

Try settingt the media up just as you wish then memorize the settings into the key. That should bring back the memorized settings when you unlock the car.

 

Thanks, it works. Still need to click something to get the map - never seen this in any other car. Usually you get the disclaimer for a few secs and then it goes away. I wonder who was the idiot that thought it's good user experience to have the driver fumble for a button and click it every time they start the car.

 

Doesn't work, thanks anyway Still defaults to Radio and stays there, I have to scroll through available Sources to select Aux BT.

 

If you have voice control you can accept the confirm when verbally entering an address. Very easy but a little annoying to have to bother doing that every time.

 

Try setting your source to Aux and see what happens. I think it will keep it there and not default to radio upon startup. I found the clarity of sound SO much better w/ my hardwired Aux compared to the Aux BT option that I never use BT anymore - the difference is quite noticeable w/ Burmester.

 

I don't use Aux. If I set it tho, when I start the car it will default to Aux, no more Radio. But it doesn't help as I'm playing from my phone via Bluetooth so I have to switch it to Aux BT regardless.

The problem is that the car takes 10 seconds or so to connect to my phone and Aux BT doesn't show as a source until the connection is made. Which means the entertainment system has no Aux BT to default to as soon as the car starts, so it switches to the safest thing, which is the Radio. Is dummer than any car I driven in the last 10 years (including a 2009 Audi A4, ahhem, VW family) that would normally wait for the connection to complete or fail, instead of throwing the towel immediately and picking up the Radio.

Oh well, what wouldn't we put up with just to drive the Stuttgart crest

 

No voice control here. The car was "only" $112k and this is a Porsche where you have to pay for the oxygen you're breathing in -- if it's available to start with.

 

Set it to Aux, plug in your phone and not only will you not have these issues, but the quality of your music will improve dramatically. BT is the issue you're having.

 

Agree with skiracer, BT is only really for convenience, not quality and well it not very convenient for you is it?

 

Actually, despite having to select Source every time I start the car, Aux BT is still very convenient to me. I'm particular about my music, and my phone is my main player everywhere I go. Having a second device only for the car would complicate things way too much. I'll just have to live with it, damn, my life sucks J/K

As far as quality goes, when I'm doing 80 mph on the I-405, I might as well listen to a cassette player and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Too much noise in the car to be able to discern the fine details, unless I'm blasting it which I usually don't.

Thanks everyone for chipping in!
