I am so frustrated! I just purchased the 2012 Rondo about a month ago and have loved the car EXCEPT...
I have an android Galaxy SII and it pairs fine but when it's paired and I'm listening to the radio it flips into BT Handsfree mode any time I touch my phone's screen. After a few seconds it flips back to the radio but if I touch the screen again - it flips. The dealer has replaced the unit but it's still happening and he deems that it's my phone. Well I went to Best Buy to look at an after market and paired with at least 6 different phones - cheap ones too - and no problems. We mimicked the situation in my car and there were no issues. I've looked for settings on my phone to change and nothing. I'm so frustrated as handsfree calling was a MUST HAVE when purchasing my car.
I was also frustrated to see no phone steering wheel mounted controls but that's my own oversight...
I've also read about others frustration with the steering wheel audio controls. Mine only scans too...this is terrible and I have NEVER seen this in a car before. It defeats the purpose of hands free!!! Plus - the manual for that stereo says it should jump to preset upon faster touch and will scan when held down...the way ALL others work - and should work.
I've also got the drivers side wind noise when driving at highway speeds. Haven't brought that to their attention yet as I only just noticed it - hopefully they can fix it.
In the end I am extremely disappointed with KIA and this vehicle in particular. My husband has a Forte and has had no problems (and I have no problems with my phone and HIS stereo - but it's a better unit). The sales guy admitted that the stereo was crap but they refuse to help this situation. Now I haven't pushed a ton because I've been trying to find out if it IS my phone but I did a factory reset last night and the same thing happens.
I've combed forum and forum and haven't found anyone else with this first issue. Anyone? Anyone have a solution?
Also - anyone have any success pushing to get the preset/scan buttons fixed? To me this should be a no brainer.
Help!!! I want to love this car but right now I am totally regretting this purchase as 2 of my main "must haves" in a car aren't even working.
