Phone Audio Mute

Featured Replies

Afternoon all.

I use the Bluetooth connection alot on my car I 50/50 listen to radio or play music through my phone and it works perfectly however I also have an app I use called AutoMate that voice announces when I am speeding or reads out messages when I receive them. Now there are two problems here:

1: If I am not listening to music through Bluetooth when the phone tries to announce something the car goes into Phone Audio Mute but doesn't play out what the phone is saying I only hear it if I am on the Bluetooth audio option on the radio

 

2: Occasionaly this Phone Audio Mute gets stuck which is mainly when the app triggers voice listening for a response and what happens is the entire radio system gets stuck. I cannot unmute it, I can't change it to Radio or literally do anything with the entire radio and voice control system. Even turned the car off and locking it the radio doesn't power off continues to say Audio Mute. Even the Power On/Off button does nothing. Its very tricky to fix when it happens but to do so I have to keep triggering the voice input feature on my phone and eventually it unsticks the radio but it has to be fixed otherwise its going to drain the battery.

 

Anyone else experienced these or have any advice?

Regards,

Max

I’m surprised this hasn’t been addressed. I happened into this now because I have exactly the same problem.
