Hi!

I have my phone paired with the Fiesta and it works perfectly, however I have noticed that the stereo has to be on for the phone to be connected and when i'm driving around i'd like the phone to be connected even if i'm not listening to music!

Other than manually turning the volume down to keep the stereo on, is there a way to "mute and unmute" it?! Or even an option to set the stereo so that it stays connected to the phone even when it is in "standby"?

I think I know what the answer will be, but thats for your help!!! ;)

    Hi

    The radio has to be on but if you press the AUX button this will effectively mute the output. If you are already playing through the AUX input from your iphone etc, pressing the AUX button again pauses playback, thus muting the output.

    Hope this helps
