V60 Radio and phone

[nigelscoffield23]

New to the v60 , radio seems to have a different selection of stations each time it’s turned on ? Normal? Also have set up Bluetooth for my phone and the wife’s , does this need activating each time you get in car as incoming calls are not showing ?

How old is the car ?
My V60, 2013, retains the radio set and connects, automatically, to the phone Bluetooth when I turn the ignition on...
Have you programmed the radio , setting the stations? Has the battery been off so losing the stations??

My car (2011 S60) usually* connects to the last connected phone each time it is started.

Stored radio stations are toggled by pressing * or # button (can't remember which) on the keypad when in the Radio function. The channel selector screen does vary when driving around to whichever stations have the strongest signal, wouldn't expect that to change parked outside the house unless you live in a very rural area on the border of signal strength.

* iPhones get priority for some reason when connecting to the car. My wife and daughter have Apple products, the boys all have Android. If my eldest son has been driving the car it will initially look for his phone when I start to use the car again, I have to cancel this and tell the car to connect to my phone.

Have two iPhones connected but neither connects automatically ( 2014 V60).
Will see if I can “save” radio stations.

Worked out to save stations you just press a number and hold to store at that position.
When you use connected phone should the audio be thru car speakers?

Yep. I find when I come off a call that the radio doesn't come back on. I have to press "FM" near the radio for it to come back on.

If you need to adjust the volume up or down whilst you're on a call, you can do it by pressing the + or - buttons on the steering wheel, or by turning the volume control up/down near the radio.

They should do. When a phone is connected, you'll see the network name/signal bars displayed in the corner of the screen (the infotainment screen). If you don't see that, there's no connection. Make sure bluetooth is enabled on the devices.

You can have multiple phones stored in the memory. So if someone else drives the car that's stored in the system memory, it'll pick their phone up automatically or they can select it from the settings if it doesn't manually. So in essence, "tell" the car this phone needs to be connected.

If there's more than you in the vehicle though and all occupants are stored in the car memory, only one phone will connect to handsfree. Either it picks one itself automatically, or you pick which one you want to be the "main" phone for that journey in the settings. So if someone rings that phone that's connected to the car, that's the one that will "ring" through the speakers (no one else's).

You can't have multiple phones at once connected to it. Only one will be the main phone.
