Hi, reopening this thread on Versa Built-In Bluetooth with a twist.
I have an iPhone 4 and now a 5 and when I get a call, I don't hear the ringtone from the factory bluetooth system. No matter what the ringtone type and ringtone is not on silent and active. If I am listening to music, the radio stops playing and I see after a few rings the "telephone" prompt on the radio head unit, and then press the button to answer. I did some research earlier and see that it's an iPhone issue with the type of BT protocol it uses.
I paired a new BB Q10 with it to test and an incoming call produces the ringtone thru the stereo loud and clear.
I can live with this, just extended my amount of time my phone rings before going to voicemail to 40 seconds, so that I would have time to answer the call with steering wheel button. When the call comes in, it actually rings on the phone 3 or 4 times before I see the Radio prompt and the music shuts off (if I am playing CD, radio, AUX or XM).
However, would be nice to hear the ringtone. When paired in the car, the iPhone does not ring even if silent is off.
Any body see a workaround for this, or maybe an Iphone App that can help?
Thanks in advance, Ken
