My phone only has to be connected once with the bluetooth speaker and it will auto-connect when the speaker is turned on every time. |
My iPhone was paired to my RAV4 radio a long time ago and it reconnects every time I start the engine. I use the RAV4 audio system as a handsfree phone and it can also read text messages to me. It does a good job with those tasks. But it gets confused when it comes to navigating songs on the iPhone or on a USB thumb drive. But I only own a few dozen songs (digital or otherwise) anyway, so I really don't desire to listen to them every time I drive. I never invested much in songs except for a few years decades ago when I owned a lot of cassette tapes during my teenage years. I guess the frustration of 8-track and cassette tapes degrading so quickly really turned me off to buying songs, and even years later when CDs and MP3s became standard I never regained a desire to buy songs. But since my music tastes evolve over time its probably is a good idea for me not to waste money on songs.
