Hi Guys

I'm still not an owner until 1st March :sleepy:

However, was wondering if the connection from my Android (HTC) phone will show song data etc on the TFT screen? I'm guessing not by Bluetooth but through the USB connection?

Any experience of this...? Or does everyone have an Iphone

Many thanks

Tim

I have only played once a song via BT, and if I remember correctly, it showed all the song info, same as USB

Hi Chosen V40.

Did a little experiment with my Xperia Z. Bluetooth shows the song info etc. but through USB I get zilch. Even the phone won't connect.

I have a permanently stationed MP3 player that's quite old but performs flawlessly with the USB connection. They're cheap to buy on Ebay if you look around.

One downside I have come across is when using phone Satnav. The sound from Navigator or whichever app you use comes over the car speakers wonderfully. Only problem is that the Walkman player on the Sony also comes on automatically and although the sound decreases when Mrs Satnav speaks, it is still an annoyance. It's less easy to change albums etc. for some reason and even though I switch the player off it can randomly start, sometimes after the engine stop/start has operated.

All-in-all the entertainment system functions well.

Incidentally, when I bought 'V' (as I like to call her), I also purchased a New Yaris as it keeps the wife off my lovely V! However, the ents system in that has touch-screen and album cover display! It really is a great car and only half the price of the V40! No she's not swapping with me.

I hate touchscreen, it is dangerous in my opinion as you have to look to see what you are pressing rather than feeling it and keeping your eyes on the road etc

Just a bit of a thread hi-jack, but does your HTC one sync with the phone book in the car or do you have to add manually, the reason I ask is that when I borrowed a demo car, my phone would connect, and make and receive calls but the phone book on my phone wouldn't sync with the car, just wondering if you have managed to do this. Again sorry for the hi-jack.

Hey Danifian

I've since had my V40 for almost a couple of months... My HTC One (mini) works flawlessly - full auto phone book syncing, recent & missed calls etc

ps. Check out the app 'Agent'. Brilliant... It reads out text messages through the speakers when connected on the V40 bluetooth and even records where you've parked when you disconnect. Simple...but works a treat.
