Keeping Calls *away from* the Sync Monster 3


Recommended Posts

Ok so here is a good 1st world problem that's twisting my knickers - I have the "fancy" radio in a 2020 TC from work love this vehicle, want to steal it etc.

 

I always use a bluetooth headset, specifically the trucker / telephone operator kind - the kind that goes over one ear, over your head, and has a boom mike when driving because honestly I find them to provide the clearest calls. Having the single ear coverage also helps overcome the lovely sound of our less than polished highways out hear.

 

Never had a real problem with this arrangement until sync 3 came into my life. This particular radio sadistically wants to handle my calls. It is relentless. It is trying to get me killed. I would just un-pair the iPhone from the sync monster *but* I also use the iPhone to send streaming radio and podcasts there. So I need a way to tell sync monster 3 to back off and  only use the iPhone as a media player and not as a phone. I've already tinkered with the accessibility / audio routing settings on the iPhone but that hasn't solved the problem.

 

Does anyone know a trick for this? Also who in their right mind - what AUTO designer - thought touch screens were anything other than a homicidal act? Seriously. Drivers need to feel, not ever ever look.

 

thanks for the bandwidth - keeping the fingers crossed for an easy fix.
