Bluetooth and USB phone connection

Spacer · 07-02-2018, 10:07 AM

Hey, just a quick one. I’ve got an iPhone X, running iOS 11, and can’t get it to connect via usb when I have Bluetooth active. I’d prefer it to go via usb for the sound quality, but I have to go into ‘manage devices’ abd deselect Bluetooth audio. Is there any way to get round this, and have it connect via usb when it’s plugged in, and Bluetooth when it’s not? If I select usb when it’s plugged in, it just says that the device is setup for Bluetooth and doesn’t want to know.

Thanks!

Nothing you can do, it's an either/or situation.
It's annoying, I agree.

A lot of stuff about the entertainment / audio system in this car is exceedingly stupid, IMO.
