Might be your Bluetooth volume on your handset

I have the "Bluetooth audio" turned all the way up on my droid RAZR, however I can't transition from radio to Pandora without cranking the truck volume up quite a bit. That the case for any others?

 

 

Not a huge deal until you switch back to xm and blow your ears out.

After testing all sources the only noticeable difference was CD. I've found that out on numerous head units not just this one.

I guess I will try again and ensure my Bluetooth volume is all the way up.

 

So you had no difference at all between xm/radio and Pandora?

So I bought the truck and now Pandora doesn't work at all through bluetooth. I'm getting the "no internet connection" message. Trying to figure out what happened because it was working the very first time I tried it at dealership.

Your sure the salesman didn't have his android phone paired to your radio for the demo of it?

Yes I was sure of that because of the music that was playing. I am able to use it through the media button same as what you do. Who knows, maybe the media button was pushed instead of Pandora when I was test driving it. Could of swore it was the Pandora one though.

I tried an app called "Bluetooth volume" that let's you adjust the media volume automatically for Bluetooth and non-bluetooth use. Works well and solved my "too quiet" problem.

You have to have the audio source turned to Bluetooth audio in order to here the text and email alerts, which can be irritating, but I guess I understand.

If you use the google drive application that is part of a "smart action/rule" it will actually say "incoming text or call" and even the name/content of the text if you like.

In my experience my link is awful it needs alot of bugs worked out, my experience was from the 2013 spark though.

Never drove a Spark but in the Malibu and I think an Equinox it was fine. Ford is horrible. Dodge ones are ok but basic, at least the style I've driven.

I have a Moto Droid (latest updates) and having some intermittent issues with the bluetooth. First, I only use my bluetooth for phone... no media, no pandora, etc.

 

My issue is - the phone and truck always link up as normal when I start up. However, sometimes the phone won't ring through the truck speakers... only the phone. When this happens no voice , etc comes through the truck speakers.

I can restart the truck and it will work. I'm pretty sure the problem is the truck

 

any ideas?

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
