BT Music

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with playing back music from a phone over bluetooth into the ANS810?
I seem to get some fairly obvious HF distortion when playing back from my iPhone4.
I've tried lowering the volume on the phone itself and it seems to make no difference, so it's not a usual input gain issue.
I've tired it on 2 different ANS units and it seems to be the same.

I don't have another phone to try at the moment but would be interested to know if anyone has the same issue.

I notice that you can track skip using the on screen buttons, but not the steering wheel controls.
I also notice that there is no feedback on screen, which I know is possible from other systems I've used.
If there was playback info on screen and on the MFD then using the phone itself to navigate/browse would be an easy compromise.

I've tried a few phones including an old Nokia, a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a Galaxy S3 and they all seemed fine. It could be iPhone related, unfortunately quality of BT can sometimes be heavily reliant on drivers supplied by the manufacturers and the extent to which they stick to standards...

Regarding information on screen, this is available only with AVRCP 1.3+. Both the unit and the phone must support it for this to work. The ANS series unit only has A2DP at the moment so it will not be able to read song info through BT. I've been in touch with them about this and found them a new supplier that supports Bluetooth 3.0 and AVRCP 1.4, but obviously this is not something that can be mitigated by software.

Hi,

Anyone could recommend any installer that I can go, to install the RVC. I tried pulled out the trims, and found that I need to remove the bumper etc. I have all the wires and relay soldered. Just need to install the number plate camera and hook up the relay to the rear wiper.

Thanks

These are all suggestions I have made to the manufacturer. They will likely be implemented over time.

There is newer firmware with alphabetical phonebook fix (though this may be for English only) and some iPod fixes. Updated firmware is released regularly.

Hi DkN,

I can confirm that the sear warmers is not working properly. Am using Mk6 climate control. Every other button on the climate control will trigger a display on ANS expect the seat warmer.
when i press the seat warmers there is nothing displayed on the screen at all.

Thanks.

Swipe up from the main menu after the latest firmware flash, you will see a full preview of the OBD2 interface. I'll keep everyone posted on availability.

Can someone post a pic of the options?

I'm interested as I am waiting on my Skoda Yeti to arrive next Jan/Feb but I only ordered the RND-510 (No Sat/Nav). That saved me $3000, mind you. I intended to just use a Garmen with Eco-Route as it's easy to replace and keep updated with the latest tech but this seems like a not too expensive option. Eco-Route is Garmens bluetooth OBD dongle.

That right there is the selling point for me. I'll be following this thread closely to see it in action.

That looks a little more polished than the released version
do I presume you're beta testing??

when do we get the next release then?

I am not yet beta testing the module itself but I am helping with shortening the English translation text to fit into these blocks of information.

The module itself was last said to be ready at the end of this month, not sure if that is still the case but I think we are getting very close.

Does this have the ability to display the clock while the radio is playing (or when off)?
