Waze/Bluetooth Question..

I don't have this issue with other cars but when I use Waze thru Bluetooth on my recently purchased RC F, it seems the first part of the directions are cut off and then you hear the rest of it perfectly. I tried to re-boot bluetooth on my phone with the car, but that did not help. Anyone else have that issue and any thoughts or remedies to fix this problem. Thank you..

I don't have the issue on my RCF if I am listening to music through the Bluetooth.

if you are not streaming through the Bluetooth and using another source the system has to flip over to Bluetooth when Waze starts the prompt so it makes sense there would be a delay.

I use Waze all the time with no problem. I'll stream XM and Waze simultaneously with no delay. Check your settings: Search, settings, sound and voice, sound output, "device default" should be checked

Will do right now and Thank You. Another Newbie question is that when I have Bluetooth music streaming and Waze directions come thru, I can barely hear it. Is there a way to turn up Waze's volume over Bluetooth? Thank you!

Sorry I was not clear

Start Waze, lower left on Waze touch the search button, follow my instructions. Waze also has its own volume level output too

Hope this helps

You can actually turn off "Play as Bluetooth phone call" in Waze Sound output setting. You will get Waze directions from your phone's speakers instead of bluetooth phone dial, that was causing the sound cutoff in the beginning part.
