Avic z130:iphone 4 IOS 5
Brake bypass done
2002 Subaru Impreza WRX
genuine Pioneer cable
When connected to the head unit (using the cable) my phone buttons are greyed out
ipod and other functions work fine
I am not sure if this is a result of doing the bypass or just coincidence
Confident the bypass was done correctly
Any ideas?
The phone button is for Bluetooth.
I have had the unit for a week and my phone buttons worked while cable was connected before doing the bypass. But since the bypass the phone buttons are greyed out...every other functions seems to be working fine though
Do you get the "connected" message after booting when your phone connects over BT? If not, re-pair. If you do get that message, then your bypass isn't correct (possibly the moved pin isn't making contact). Can you enter a destination in the NAV? Any other functions grayed out?
Yes, I can connect over bluetooth and it works fine. I am able to enter a destination just fine in Nav. All other functions seem to work fine. I do see a few other things greyed out like Avic Feeds, cancel route and route overview in the Nav section but can not recall what they were like before the bypass. ALL phone buttons are greyed out.
Your phone is probably paired as audio and not hands free and audio.
how do you pair it as both?
It's in the AVIC bluetooth settings, select the phone, it will show the pairing options.
I am not trying to connect through bluetooth. I can do that fine. I am trying to connect and use the phone through the direct cable.....all buttons are still greyed out.
As I said before, the phone button is for Bluetooth, it has NOTHING to do with the cable.
You did say that but that confuses me because I thought I was able to use the phone menu/buttons while connected to the cable (and not bluetooth) before though.
Bluetooth is normally always connected in the background, with or without the cable connected.
Hmmmm.... I usually don't turn my bluetooth on so I must have only checked all of this out when it was accidently still connected and didn't realize that the cable only worked for the ipod, pandora function and not the phone too. Wow...this would have saved me a TON of time....I spent so much time on this forum looking for what could have happened. UGH! Thank you though!
