BlueTooth aggravation...

Aprrox 10 seconds after I start up car, head unit bluetooth connects to my Samsung phone & shows "BlueTooth Device Connected"

Then my radio music goes out/silent. Turning the volume control shows "voice volume", not "radio volume". So it's in voice mode, thus I have to push voice icon to "cancel" the voice mode to get back to radio mode & hear music again.

This happens half of the time & is so frustrating.

Anyone has this problem?
or is it just my own car/phone/bluetooth issue?

Thanks,

My Droid Razr Maxx HD hooks up properly every time. No issue with volume control. Phone is Motorola of course.

Had to delete both cars from the phone Bluetooth setup and delete the Samsung from both vehicle phone setups. Then paired the phone to each vehicle again. Working well so far. Maybe deleting the Bluetooth setups in your phone and your C7 and re-pairing would work?

HTC DNA & LG G3 with no issues in the '14. I would have issues periodically with the DNA in a previous car though that would require me to delete and re-pair the phone.

My Samsung S4 connects fine. But I had a similar problem with my Avalanche... after a software "upgrade" that was downloaded to my S4.

I had to do what Rand1993 suggested.

I've since disable the auto update feature; on everything I own. Many times, the updates fix a few problems that I am not encountering... and then create new & different problems all on their own.
