New to the forum and to my LX. Just picked up a 2004 black over ivory with only 42,000. First time owning a non-GMC product and absolutely love it
just trying to get used to the quirks going back to 10 year old technology. The biggest thing has been bluetooth - which has always been a seamless experience for me. However, not so much in my LX. Everything connects fine and I even got my phonebook transferred over by using my mac. Now to the issues.
1 - If I answer the call from my iPhone instead of over hands free, the volume on the stereo never comes back on when the call is over. The radio will shut off for the call and turn back on when the call is disconnected, but no volume will come out of the speakers. I have to turn the car off/on for it to return (powering off the car stereo won't do it).
2 - If I answer the call over the hands free, sound only seems to come over mono through one speaker (drivers door). When I end the call, the stereo volume doesn't come through that speaker until I turn off/on the car. Comes through other speakers fine.
3 - The phonebook looks normal, but my 1-touch dialing is all screwed up. I assigned 1-touch for all my contacts, and now they get randomly assigned to different numbers even though the phonebook has them correct.
Anybody have these same issues or know of a resolution? It seems like a firmware update would have fixed these bugs. Can you update the firmware for the head unit? I've updated Nav maps to 13.1. Is that the problem? I know bluetooth was brand new in vehicles in 2004, but this makes it unusable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance Ryan
