Barky Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 hi all i have had my mk7 fiesta for over a week now, and i love it. Just a couple of questions tho. 1 - Does the stereo have to be on for the bluetooth handsfree to work? (if so is there a stereo mute button or do i just turn the volume down) 2 - As I have got the 3 door fiesta the seatbelt over my right shoulder is very hard to reach when siting in the car, any soultions? 3 - I have the 1.6 petrol but when it starts up it is quite noisy (sounds a little bit like a diesel), is this normal? 4 - Is there anyway to stop my iPhone automatically playing its ipod feature when it connects to bluetooth? 5 - Does anyone use the voice commands to its full potential (i read the manual but has anyone seen a better guide or got any hot tips to get the best from it) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 hi all i have had my mk7 fiesta for over a week now, and i love it. Just a couple of questions tho. 1 - Does the stereo have to be on for the bluetooth handsfree to work? (if so is there a stereo mute button or do i just turn the volume down) Yes it does - a little silly I know. I have mine on all the time - there is no mute button, just turn it down. 2 - As I have got the 3 door fiesta the seatbelt over my right shoulder is very hard to reach when siting in the car, any soultions? Erm, grow a bit? Lower your seat a little perhaps. 3 - I have the 1.6 petrol but when it starts up it is quite noisy (sounds a little bit like a diesel), is this normal? Yes, this has been observed on meets, the tick over of the mk7 is really quite diesel like. 4 - Is there anyway to stop my iphone automatically playing its ipod feature when it connects to bluetooth? No, this one's Apple's fault. They have promised a resolution in software version 4. 5 - Does anyone use the voice commands to its full potential (i read the manual but has anyone seen a better guide or got any hot tips to get the best from it) Not sure what you mean really, I found the manual quite good and the whole system pretty intuitive.

Barky Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Cheers for both replies Dan (pressure washer one aswell) I will have a look on eBay for a karcher pressure washer and lance. Regarding the bluetooth its just that i read the manual then by the time i got in the car i forgot almost all of the instructions, i suppose i will just have to read it a few times to make it stick. I was hoping there might be a few short cuts ie. i could just press the voice command button and say "phone home" and it would phone home rather than "Phone", "Phone Name", "Phone Home", "Yes" etc. just seemed a little long winded for voice commands. What a great car the new fiesta is though, this is my 5th brand new Fiesta and by far the best.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 The phone is the default setting on the VC - so you can go straight to it without saying phone. i.e. press the button, say 'dial name' 'name please' say 'home' 'dial home? confirm yes or no' say 'yes' - and away it goes. The same is true for redial and dial number. But <whispers> that's all in the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyzetecs Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I must admit No3 annoyed me for a while But i found just sliding my right arm backwards between the door and the seat and grabing the belt that way was much easier than trying to get it over the shoulder :D Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Shadow Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 The seatbelt is abit far back. But Im used to it now The ONLY thing that annoys me, if the passenger seat in the 3 door has no memory. Maybe the driver side aswell. You slide it forward to let people in and it will need adjusting again Other than that LOVE MY ZS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
