Hi all, another newbie here. I feel assaulted by the electronics every time I drive this 5 month old new car. The most glaring incident is the following:
When I purchased the car, the salesperson set up my iphone 4 including my contacts. I found it avery useful feature on the two hour drive home in that I could look up someone by last name on the navigation screen and use the steering wheel controls to place and end a call while driving without fumbling with my phone...outstanding!
A few weeks later I bought an iphone 5 and deleated the old phone and contacts and installed the new iphone 5 and contacts. The sort order for my contacts is now by first name rather than last. I am unable to make a call by entering a number as the keypad and contact list is somehow locked out unless I stop the car.
The salesperson is now unable to install the contacts so they are sorted by last name and last name displayed first even though able to do so initially. This despite many attempts on his part to do so.
Trying to figure out why this no longer functions as it did initially has been very distracting if not downright dangerous; more so tha fumbling with the phone would have been.
I can look up and/or key in a number using my iphone, hit the call button on the iphone, cut the iphone off and use the pick up key on the steering wheel while moving and the system in the car will continue the call as it should. But when the phone button to end the call is used the contacts and numbers to enter a new number remain grayed out unless the car is stopped.
Now, if anyone would care to explain to me how to get my system back to the way it initially operated I would greatly appreciate it as the way things stand now, I'll be offloading this sucker due to the electronics great comfortable ride and reputation for limited mechanical problems notwithstanding.
