Default anyone else having issues with BT streaming audio?

Here is the issue I am having. Upon first time switching to BT audio or the Pandora app in the suite, the audio stream works fine. Once i switch to another source (FM, XM, etc) and then back to BT the audio no longer plays, even though I know data is being sent through. Only way I have found to fix this is to disable the phone's BT and re-enable. Phone auto connects and BT works again. This happening to anyone else?

I have similar issues- in particular with Pandora and its audo streaming cutting out. I'll see the song as if its playing but no audio. So I know I'm on the source, its just not pumping the audi. I've even had issues where it was screwed because after a call. I have an Iphone 5 on the latest IOS btw.

It's a bit frustrating to be honest- frankly its my probably one of the few gripes I have with the car. Wish I had a solution for you, but all I can offer you is that you're not the only one. Maybe someone will chime in..

Oh guess i should say I'm using a Galaxy S4. This thread here (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...nightmare.html) seems to say it's an issue with having the phone plugged into the USB slots, which I do use to charge the phone, but pretty sure it does it also when unplugged. Until I hear other possible causes I will pay attention to see if the issue is happening even when my phone is unplugged.

Same thing happens to me, except I have to restart the car to fix the bluetooth connection after restarting the bluetooth on my phone. Can't wait for the software/firmware update to fix this and the other problems with the Audio/Navi

In case you didn't know, you can just reboot the audio system by holding down the volume **** for about 3 secs. Save you from restarting the whole car.

I have the same issues with bluetooth as well.

Currently have unlimited data with ATT, using an iPhone 5s with iOS7.
It tethers and displays all the information fine, but there's no audio...
I checked the speaker settings, treble, base, speaker spread, enable surround and nothing.
Fiddled with it for a while until I gave up.

Decided to use the Light Cable instead and directly via USB.
Just liked the idea of having all the Pandora information, playlists and such directly on your screen without having to look at your phone.

Tested Yelp, Bing, Open table and all they work very well.
Yelp especially, shows all the information, reviews, pictures of the food, number, hours, even lets you map it and route it on your car. Very useful, but the only problem is you cannot use it while the car is in motion.

I'm currently using the older version of the car update, waiting for my dealer to contact me regarding the newer update.

I've had similar issues with this. When I'm in BT mode and switch over to the iPod mode or vice versa, it sometimes doesn't play and it shows its playing on both my phone and screen...kinda frustrating.

I'm on version 8400 of the firmware and right now just had my pandora setting reset itself back to default. Treble, Bass and mids all went back to default. And volume was really really low.

I switch to Sat and all was normal. I bumped up the volume while on Pandora to 33 and it was still sounding lower than usual. Not sure what happened here.

I've had no issues with streaming though. I can even charge my tablet on the USB and streaming still works fine.
