I was hoping someone could give me a hand... I've got a 2013 TC2 with the stock Pioneer head unit.

When pairing it with my iPhone 5 (the only reason I mention it's an iPhone is that this may be related to the problem I'm seeing...) the Bluetooth audio plays fine, but the head unit doesn't seem to recognize the folder/song structure on my phone.

This is my first experience with a BTA system, so I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is correct... but when I plug by phone directly in using USB, the List/Menu button on the head unit works correctly, allowing me to browse playlists, albums, artists, tracks, etc...

But when connected via BTA, it seems to only want to play through the tracks... and the List/Menu button is completely unresponsive.

Is this normal behavior for BTA? Is there something I'm missing in the setup?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton!!

 

Yea, it's normal. You're fine. You can only change the playlists, albums, etc. via USB.

 

Normal, I have an HTC and all my HU displays is BT Audio Streaming or something like that.

 

^ X3 ^

 

Thanks guys/gals... I did finally find some info on it buried on the Scion site:

http://www.scion.com/manuals/nav_aud...tion=bluetooth

FWIW, if you click on "Find out if your phone is compatible here" and navigate through and choose your carrier / brand / model phone, etc... you'll come to a listing of all of the BTA capabilities. And yes, it's pretty limited when it comes to browsing albums/playlists:

Among plenty of others:

NO - Multimedia system controls can operate browsing of playlist (previous/next and scrolling).

NO - Multimedia system controls can operate ALBUM-DOWN/UP function.

NO - Multimedia system controls can operate track selection from music playlist.

Again, thanks for the confirmation!

Cheers.

 

Only cool thing about BT streaming is that sometimes I will listen to a song on my headphones, get into my car and if the HU was left on BT, take the the headphones off and it automatically goes to the HU so I don't lose the position in the song.

 

Yeah, I suppose I was expecting a bit more. It's still useful for taking calls, but the audio is sorely lacking.

 

It is kind of a low end HU so expected.
