Ok...wondering if you guys can help...

Phone: XDA Ignito
Car stereo: Sony MEX-BT4700U
(http://www.sony.co.uk/product/ica-bluetooth-car-stereo/mex-bt4700u)

The first time I first linked the two, both the phone and stereo automatically recognised that they could both use 'Handsfree' and 'A2DP' profiles, signified by two sperate symbols on stereo, and the two different BT profile symbols on the Ignito. Both worked perfectly, music streaming and handsfree.

However, the next time I returned to the car...only the 'Handsfree' profile connected automatically.

In the bluetooth settings on the Ignito it knows it can connect both ways, if I uncheck handsfree profile, and leave A2DP checked, it connected prefectly fine by A2DP. (and vice versa).

So my question is...why the hell won't it connect using BOTH profiles automatically, like it did at first connection? Am I going to have to mess around in the bluetooth profile settings every time I want to switch from handsfree to A2DP?!?!?

Thanks guys,

Dave

Noone? :eek:

Now it seems to only connect via 'handfree' profile, even when i've unchecked handsfree profile in the bluetooth device settings and ticked the 'stereo' profile.
