So I'm wondering if anyone has experienced and/or found a solution to a very annoying bluetooth. I have a 2012 GTI with the touchscreen headunit. There are some really annoying quirks and one of them is placing me a risk of accidentally blowing my speakers. Quick Summary:
So the combination of these two problems means that there is ALWAYS music playing via bluetooth when in my car and WHENEVER I hit the media button, if I've forgotten to turn stuff way down it comes out incredibly loud. Its to the point I'm wanting to get an aftermarket headunit, but I really don't want to because I don't really like all the lights and flashing on most LCD units.. I think the stock one is pretty clean. Secondly, I want to upgrade my speakers. I know that I won't remember 100% of the time and I don't want to dump money into upgrading the stock speakers if I'm just going to blow them...
Help/Advice anyone?
Ultimately I'd like it to not automatically decide its going to play music via bluetooth and I want to keep bluetooth pairing for the use of the phone. Setting an upper volume limit for bluetooth audio sources would be nice too.
Bluetooth seems to have volume amp'ed up like a factor of 10 over when my iphone is plugged in via the cable or sat elite/FM. I can't seem to set an upper limit for bluetooth. If I forget to turn my phone down or the radio volume to about 10% when I hit the "media" button (which allows me to choose between bluetooth and media cable) it automatically chooses bluetooth and a sound explosion comes from my speakers... Its going to damage them...
Whenever I get in my car and bluetooth connects, (which I want to have on for use of the handsfree phone) it automatically starts playing music. Its a weird thing.. Its not audible because its sending it bluetooth to the car and bluetooth may not be selected and therefore I hear no music. But if my sirius iphone app is on its starts playing when I get in my car... Not audible through journey... I shut off my car and my iphone starts playing... (the continuation of music playing is partially a problem with the app because unlike the regular app when you switch sources, like pulling out headphones, it does not stop playing). If the app isn't running, it'll just start playing stuff in itunes even though I never told it to.
