it's too bad FM radio is dying. my car trips are usually 10-20 minutes. that's not long enough to faff with my phone or carplay. I greatly prefer to have preset radio stations. luckily i'm in a big metro area but I've lost a few over the years and the quality of the others has declined in line with revenue.
- mvdtnz 3y agoMy phone connects to my car's bluetooth in an instant every time I start it up. Just press play and my last played podcast starts up. Hardly a faff.
- denimnerd42 3y agoi just have rotten luck with BT in general. mine seemingly connects to whatever other phone is in my house except mine. go into menu on phone to connect, takes a minute to time out. go into menu on car to connect, doesn't connect (or vice versa/phone/car) connect from phone again, finally works. i was listening to music last. ok now open podcast app. oh house wifi is too far but its still connected. disable wifi manually to get cell signal. then i'm listening to something on my BT headphones in my house. car pulls up - now the car has stolen my signal and the occupants get whatever inane shit i'm listening to. i only wish it was as easy as 1 button press like FM radio.
