cant play my music properly?? help
 
I enjoy listening to my music in my car through the bluetooth feature. Is there any way I can scroll through the artists/albums on the screen instead of pressing the arrows to go to the next song???? it just takes to long when i have thousands of songs.... I use an iphone.

You have arrow keys? Wait, does everyone have arrow keys?
All I have is this stupid knob that skips 3-4 songs if I don't turn it just right...

Sorry @ninedice they came out with these babies for the late 2013+ models:

Yes, on the touch screen head unit there is arrows pointing left and right

Wait a minute, now that I stare at it a bit more, the original head unit has arrows as well! @ninedice, have you tried those before? lol

I have a Series 10 so I have the newer head unit as well. I always use the knob on the top right for changing songs.. I never even tried using (or even noticed) the buttons.. Thanks for that.. Haha :thumbup:

lol, I think I remember why I never used the "tuning/scroll" knob on the right side - because it was as fiddly as you say. :bonk:

That looks the same as the Subaru head unit. The only way I've found to select anything (other than shuffle all) is to pick the artist/playlist before connecting to the car. Annoying lack of functionality.

Connection through Bluetooth doesn't allow for the selection of albums or artists, just moving from one track to another unfortunately.

Correct. It seems like the only way to browse is through the usb connection. It's kind of annoying, because if your device is plugged in to usb, AND connected via bluetooth, then the bluetooth seems to override the usb for actually playing the songs. On my Ipod touch, i have to select usb connection to browse my library, then switch back to bluetooth in order to actually listen to the song. I suppose if my ipod was not connected via bluetooth, i could browse and listen in usb mode.

This has been discussed on other threads.

It's not really an answer to your question, but this is something I love about my pebble smart watch. Listen wirelessly on the car stereo via Bluetooth, and control wirelessly from my wrist watch. Works great with pandora too.
