Cell Phone Calling Unknown Party
Got in my GX today and I guess I butt dialed an unknown party as that is what popped up on my infotainment screen. On the screen I touched the hang up option and my radio resumed its broadcast. Then I got the same screen that I was trying to call an unknown party again. This time I used the telephone hang-up button on the steering wheel. Again, my radio resumed the broadcast and again the black screen came up saying my phone was trying to call an unknown party. I finally pulled over and parked and turned the engine off and then restarted the GX. my radio started playing music again but then the same screen popped up again about calling an unknown number. I finally turned off my phone. Got out of the GX, got back in, restarted the engine and everything was back to normal. Turned my phone back on and everything again was still normal. Can anyone explain what happened?

It’s a typical Bluetooth issue that did not initiate proper connection with the “handset” profile, there are many causes could result that. The simplest way to resolve that is to turn off the Bluetooth function on your phone, than re-enable the Bluetooth, that will re-initial the connection, or as you have done to restart your phone. Those type of situation do not happen often, but depends on how many other application that are using the Bluetooth function with various profiles for different applications, certain conflicts may result the Bluetooth handshake to break. Unless it happened constantly, nothing to worry about.
