BRZ/Bluetooth/iPhone
 

Okie dokie....first one with the correct answer wins a cookie. (Flavor to be determined at a later date.)

Question: In my BRZ, when using Bluetooth with my iphone and playing music, is there ANY way to get the search function working on the head unit screen?

At this point all I can do is track forward and backward but not select playlists, artists or anything else - AND - you can't select playlists on the iphone as the ipod function is locked out being connected by bluetooth.

I know the obvious solution is to just run bluetooth for phone and then run audio out through the dock connector seeing as how its plugged in to charge anyway but I was trying to avoid having to select a source on the iPhone everytime its plugged in - OR better yet, not have to plug the phone in at all and just use Bluetooth the way one might hope it was designed to work.

Thoughts?

The iPhone only supports a fairly basic version of the AVRCP bluetooth profile (the profile for media control). From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647:
Sorry :(, It does seem that the head unit fully implements the AVRCp profile version 1.4, which would allow for searching, etc. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetoo...le_.28AVRCP.29 for more info.

Thanks cmspooner :thumbsup:

Looks like iOS 6 will bring iPhones up to full functionality when it is released in the fall.

Oh and I did promise a cookie...

And that's good enough for me!

If it makes you feel better, my Droid Charge doesn't even send track info.

Has anyone had connectivity issues using an android device such as the Samsung galaxy s4? Every once and a while my phone connects just fine. But most of the time it just connects and disconnects like every 30 seconds. Even when I shut off the blue tooth the unit still figures out how to screw with me. At this point i'm fed up. Any input would help!
