Anyone else have bluetooth issues?

For the life of me i cannot get bluetooth to work on my 427. Whoever thought that it would be best to connect the phone strictly by voice commands is an idiot.

I say "pair", it says "finding the nearest golf courses"
I say "pair", it says "finding the nearest airports"

This is the biggest piece of **** system i have ever used

The voice commands for the Nav on our 2006 and now 2009 are worthless, but the bluetooth pairing system worked fine.

The Bluetooth commands are pretty weak in any pre 2013 vehicle. Newly designed 2013 vehicles are darn good. The C7 should be up to date.

It was very easy with my 2013. My Nokia flip phone and my wife's iPhone both hooked up and work very well with my car.

It works great in my 2013 GS.
Take it back to the dealer and get it right.
It's much better than the blue tooth in our Venza.

Obviously the Corvette was not a new design for 2013. The C7 should be up to date with the newly designed vehicles of 2013 as I stated.

Hey Vet,

If support cannot help then I will call your dealership and we will get more involved. We will get infotainment on the phone with your dealership to troubleshoot the problem.
