RCD510 & Bluetooth query

Post by bitmadmax »

Evening chaps,

I have an RCD510 and bluetooth phone and I can stream phone media via bluetooth etc. What I was wondering is is it possible to have another audio source playing (eg radio, cd, SD card) whilst receiving periodic audio via bluetooth without having to manually change to bluetooth audio input? What I am trying to achieve is navigation directions from my phone be played over the speakers of the car whilst the radio is on etc. similar to behaviour of the RNS510 (although obviously this is a nav unit all in one).

Is this even possible? :shrug:

In my experience, with RNS510 and my other more straightforward car bluetooth stereos, this isn't possible..

As a result when driving my pocket rocket I've always used the bluetooth channel, an iphone with tom tom and music, which interoperate nicely with auto-ducking of volume where required...

Thanks
