Kenwood bt61u users - Niall - 09-04-2012

I know a few of you have this HU so might be able to help me.

I've got my iPhone set up with the bluetooth on the HU and I also plug it in to the rear USB for music. If I plug it in before it's syncd the phonebook, when it finishes, the audio stops and I have to unplug jt and plug it in again.
This has happend with both iPhones I've had. It only happens if you plug in the same device as the one that is syncd to the Bluetooth at the time. If someone else plugs in their phone and mine is syncd to the bluetooth it doesn't do it.

Any ideas?


Re: Kenwood bt61u users - mark_airey - 09-04-2012

Not the same HU but older model of the same, sounds like the phone throwing a hissy fit to me, I don't bother plugging my phone into the USB, I have a 16GB memory stick plugged into the USB and anything on my phone just switch my HU to "BT audio" and hit play on the phone and it streams over the bluetooth Smile

Not sure this will help you but thought it might be worth mentioning!


Re: Kenwood bt61u users - Niall - 09-04-2012

Yeah it could be the phone. If I could stop the HU syncing the phonebook every time I turn the car on, it would be fine!


Re: Kenwood bt61u users - mark_airey - 09-04-2012

I'm not sure if you can stop it, I know mine does it every time t connects, it will interrupt the phone when you plug the USB in as well and it will have a shit fit, could be the HU I suppose but I doubt it when it works fine if you plug in another phone or in my case a memory stick!

Why do you plug it in as well just out of curiosity?


Re: Kenwood bt61u users - Niall - 09-04-2012

Because sound quality through Bluetooth isn't as good and you can't really search through songs.

Fair play, I know I am more than happy with the SQ over BT but yeah, song searching has to be done Via the phone which is a bit of a PITA at times I suppose, can't help any more then I'm afraid, I will give it a try with my phone on my HU and see what happens Smile


Re: Kenwood bt61u users - Niall - 09-04-2012

Yeah I'm a bit of a obsessive when it comes to sound quality. Lol

Re: Kenwood bt61u users - Connor - 09-04-2012

Maybe there's an option on your phone to not let it sync with the phonebook? Other than that, just let it sync then connect the cable

I did try this and could never find anything but have just had another look and found it! Maybe it was a new thing from iOS5!

eBay Guy Wrote:Hi there,
Just checked an arival time for this and it's saying:

"The seller received your payment on 08 Apr, 2012. Your delivery estimate is 24 Apr, 2012 - 11 May, 2012."

This is quite ludicrous when i'm also paying for P&P on this item.
It's not particularly a large item.
Any reason why it's going to take so long?

Thanks.

complaint sent..

Fooby had no subs through bluetooth, turns out that they work fine over BT if you select the correct setting in the menu......................guessing you had the same problem, can't remember what the setting was though!
