    Anyone else have a real tough time playing music from their iPhone?

    My phone always connects and I can make/receive calls without any problems. However, if I switch to BT audio it's hit or miss on whether or not it will work. More often than not it won't work, or it sits there for 30 seconds doing nothing then works. When it will play, it usually gets stuck on 1 song (it's not on repeat). If I try to skip ahead or go back a track it just plays the same song again. I've come to avoid it altogether, thought I'd ask if anyone else experiences this? Is it the phone? The radio? The user?

    I had the same issue a while back. I deleted the phone from the truck memory, then re paired it. Haven't had a problem since.

    i dont have any issues but when i do with other phone features unpair and repair. For what its worth, connecting my iphone through the USB port with the charging cable provides better sound.

    And sometimes you have to completely have your truck remove your phone, maybe once or twice a year.
