Hey guys, just wanted to see if what I have going on with my UVO system are considered "issues" or if its just the way it is right now (aka it needs work).
1. Bluetooth - my phone automatically connects when I jump right into the car (Droid Razr Maxx). However, my phone will show solid blue and connected, but my UVO shows the bluetooth icon blinking for almost a full minute sometimes before turning a solid blue color, which only then can I actually use it. Is this normal, or is there a way I can fix this?
2. Seeking songs - every time I skip to a new song on either Jukebox, USB, or Ipod, it skips the first 2-3 seconds of the song every single time. This is annoying. Same for everyone else?
3. UVO back to default - Let's say I selected that I wanted to play the artist "Mumford and Sons" and album "Babel" - it will show 1/15 songs for this playlist. Say I hit shuffle as well. All is good. Then, I stop at the gas station and turn off the car. When I return, it will still be playing whatever song it was that I left off on, but, now it shows something like 103/2093 (if I had 2093 songs on my Ipod or USB ), and shuffle is disabled. So, it has exited the album playlist I was on and will just play the next song in alphabetical order on my device. Lame! same for everyone else?
4. Album artwork on USB - this is completely hit or miss. Imported all the songs from my Ipod folder to USB, which I had updated all with album artwork using Itunes. I tried setting the ID tag to the most recent for all songs. However, when I play on UVO with my USB, it only shows artwork like 25% of the time. LAME!
5. UVO startup - sometimes it plays instantly, and sometimes it takes damn near a minute to boot up (it just shows the startup screen). While booting up, the rear-view camera doesn't work either until it all finally kicks in. DOUBLE LAME.
6. This next one isn't a true issue, but just a complaint on the overall layout for music. They don't have a "search" available for it. However, they have one for the phone. By this I mean if I hit "explore my device" or whatever, it starts at the top of the list alphabetically. If I have 100 artists, I have to hit the down arrow a good 30-40 times to get to anything in the WXYZ artists group. Why don't they have a simple little search icon where I can just hit "W" and it jumps to those artists?? If it has it for the phone where I can hit "search" and hit any letter and it jumps to people that start with that letter. simple. (Yes, I can say "play artist - Mumford and Sons," but this just immediately plays all songs by them and doesn't let me select an album. Plus it hates my voice a lot and I end up just swearing at the lady when it doesn't work).
So - out of these 5 (or 6) issues... do these all seem NORMAL to everyone? Or perhaps there is something wrong with my new system? I bought the car in August brand new and love it otherwise, and it has the latest UVO update from 9/15/2012 on it. Thanks for any help!
