hi!

brand new 2014 lr2 owner (just picked up yesterday; former bmw owner). had a question about how the iPhone 6+ works with the touch screen. currently running 8.2.

i had no issues syncing my phone via bt. what i don't get is how to control the iPhone once it's connected via bt. there is no browse button, it seems i have to start the music on my iPhone and then it plays through the sound system. is that by design?

i have the opposite issue when connected via the usb cable. i'm able to browse my iPhone, but no matter what i select it just sits there and never actually plays anything. i can click the -> play button and it highlights and then de-highlights and does nothing. again, is this by design?

i hooked up an old 60gb iPod and had no issues through the usb, so I'm assuming this has something to do with the iPhone. i use iTunes match so i'm wondering if it doesn't like the fact that the music is only downloaded when you play it.

any help/suggestions are appreciated. i haven't found anything specifically on this issue.

ciao,
mike.

I find iTunes match and streaming over bluetooth a problem as well. To get around the very noticeable lag, I created a playlist first, then downloaded said playlist to iphone, and had no problem from that point on. The only outstanding issue when streaming over Bluetooth is you can only skip tracks, not FF/RW like you can when connected via USB.

Hope that helps a bit. Foraging near Gaydon....
