I can stream Slacker on my phone for hours without a problem. No data issues either since I've still got the unlimited data package. It just isn't convenient for me to use my phone for music when I'm driving. It's too much fussing around to plug it in, open an app, pick a station etc. If I get or need to make a call it's a pain to deal with too. It's easier for me to just drop a radio in the dock and go.
Some vehicles can stream audio and some can't even though you can have a phone call go over bluetooth. My truck can't stream audio from my phone over bluetooth but it can have a clean phone conversation.
Ok. So its not a limiatation of the Lynx but with the BlueTooth in your truck.
From what others with the same truck have said yes. My wifes car can stream audio from my phone (from) from what I remember.
Yes it's easier of course, as it should be, we shouldn't have these ridiculous limitations on a radio this expensive.
I can't argue with that. The thing is built for these features, and we've had them before. They should be able to sort through the legal stuff and get it all up and running. I understand how much it frustrates people used to those features. I hope it's sooner than later that they can fix it.
Tell you what and I am speaking only for me. I would not buy one of these on hopes and prayers of them fixing it so that all those features work. It is possible that ultimately there is going to be some pretty unhappy folks. Hope I am wrong!
I contacted them about transferring my lifetime to the Lynx or Edge, and they said I could do it. So, I ordered the Edge and they told me to call up and have it transferred when I received it. However, when I called up after getting the Edge in the mail, they told me that I could only transfer it to Sirius radios. So, for wasting my time, they told me that they'll waive the $75 transfer fee on any Sirius radio I buy that I want it transferred to. Is there anything out there that is worth transferring to? They recommended the Stratus 6 and the Starmate 8, but neither of them look great.
I'd call them back and complain. That's not cool to do that to you. If the person you talk to says they can't help, ask to speak to their supervisor. If they can't help, ask to speak to theirs. If not, hang up and call back.
Definitely, espcecially since the Edge has turned out to be a really good radio with the extra channels. I'd hate to see your purchase go to waste.
This is basically what I did. They just said that it wasn't technically possible.
There is one guy here that has done it, so we know they can. I wouldn't give up. It's hard to find the post surfing from my phone, but if you can't find it, we'll help you out.
