Quite a few cars go into USB-mode as soon as you attach a phone--almost 100% of the time they just want to charge their phone and already have things set up via Bluetooth or the radio.  iPhones won&amp;#x27;t let you play through the phone if you have an attached audio device.  Some cars seem to be able to do album art and track progress via Bluetooth--most will do it via USB but not via Bluetooth, which confuses people.  Few cars seem to have a play&amp;#x2F;pause button.  My most recent car would crash the infotainment system when I tried to use Siri.  The only way to reset things were to turn off the car--bummer for road trips.&lt;p&gt;I get why car tech lags a few years in cars, but I&amp;#x27;m constantly surprised by how terrible it is even in high price ranges.  Since stereos are no longer swappable modules in the dash, the buttons have sprawled around the console.  I was driving an in-law&amp;#x27;s Mercedes over Christmas and couldn&amp;#x27;t figure out how to turn on the stereo.  When I did, I couldn&amp;#x27;t tell which buttons were for the stereo, climate control, or other, more core car functions.</text><parent_chain><item><author>csours</author><text>Guess what the number one car infotainment complaint is...&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t have a public source, but for some vehicles bluetooth problems are the number one complain OVERALL.</text></item><item><author>freshhawk</author><text>My reaction to reading that this happened when the microphone was turned on was also a mental &amp;quot;well yeah, welcome to Bluetooth&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;I have literally shifted my rating scale for crap technology completely to make room for Bluetooth to be far enough below everything else.&lt;p&gt;The nice part is a monkey brain interprets that as everything getting better, so I am generally more content with software and tech in general.

You can use any codec you want for telephony mode, including 44.1 stereo + 44.1 mono SBC.&lt;p&gt;Guess what Apple does not implement, and guess what every 5.0 headset I&amp;#x27;ve seen so far also does not implement? Sigh. Bluetooth is 20 years old this year, and is still a fucking unmitigated trainwreck of unusabilty.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>AirPods get stuck in low-quality 16 kHz audio mode when starting a VM</title><url>https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2018/airpods-get-stuck-low-quality-16-khz-audio-mode-when-starting-vm</url></story>

But headphones, for example, don&amp;#x27;t have much of a UI to manage this.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s the hellish scenario of everyone in your car hearing the conversation you thought you were having on your back patio in private just because you walked too close to the car (happened to me). But it&amp;#x27;s not obvious how to prevent that while offering the seamless phone-to-car handoff that people may also expect.</text><parent_chain><item><author>csours</author><text>Guess what the number one car infotainment complaint is...&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t have a public source, but for some vehicles bluetooth problems are the number one complain OVERALL.</text></item><item><author>freshhawk</author><text>My reaction to reading that this happened when the microphone was turned on was also a mental &amp;quot;well yeah, welcome to Bluetooth&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;I have literally shifted my rating scale for crap technology completely to make room for Bluetooth to be far enough below everything else.&lt;p&gt;The nice part is a monkey brain interprets that as everything getting better, so I am generally more content with software and tech in general.
