| Is the ICE supposed to come on when I activate the phone? |
|
Here's a simple question ...
I'm driving along quite happily, all nice and peaceful like with the in-car entertainment switched off, and I want to make a phone call. So I activate the phone using that there BlueTooth gizmo because I want to pick a number from the phonebook (having pulled over or gotten the wife to do it) and the CD player comes to life and disturbs my peaceulf mood.
Now I understand that the phone wopuld use the same circuit of speakers as the ICE for it's audio, and of course, if the steroe is on, it mutes when making a call, but should the CD or radio play when I fire up the phone even when it was switched off?
My work round is to switch to AUX rather than turn the unit off because I haven;t got anything plugged into the AUX port, sio it stays quite.
So is this normal behaviour?

Audio comes on when I hit the phone button

mine also works in the same way - so I also have AUX selected (unless I'm listening to CDs or Radio)

If you initiate a call from the phone it doesn't seem to do this... also if someone calls you and the radio is off, it will stay off after the call.
