My apologies if this is just new to me and you're all previously aware of this.
I know I'm not the only one bugged by the ignition button switching off the radio as well as the motor, killing your bluetooth while you're in the middle of a tune. I thought this might be helpful for some of you guys.
On a whim I tried something that seems to work to maintain the bluetooth connection after the motor has stopped (aside from being on an active phone call)
I pressed the ignition off button with my thumb and then almost instantly pressed the radio power button with my little finger (hand like a "
" sign). The radio does still turn off; if you can turn it back on fast enough, it seems to maintain the bluetooth connection. You then just have to press the media button and your stream should still be going. It's not perfect, but it beats having to miss half of your tune while you wait for the radio to reconnect bluetooth again.
This might be different for different phones. I did try it with my wife's Galaxy S2 and it worked as well with my Galaxy Note. I am curious to see if it works with other bluetooth streaming devices.
My guess is that perhaps the RNS does not completely power off in that fraction of a second, maybe due to electrical capacitance. :iono:
