Hands Free Bluetooth & Bluetooth music?

Hi Everyone,

New member here and actually plan on buying a 2013 lapis blue g37xS this weekend with navigation. I do have a question however about Bluetooth and Android phones.

If I setup my phone in the car for Bluetooth, can I use it both for incoming calls and for music streaming (Spotify) at the same time? For example, I'm playing music and driving then a call comes in and I answer it then once it ends the music resumes playing.

If not what would be a workaround? I am okay with connecting my phone via USB to play music and then connect my phone via Bluetooth for the hands free portion but will the USB method allow me to still use the steering wheel controls to change songs?

Thank you everyone

Thanks for the quick response. Which do people prefer? I've heard Bluetooth with android can sound lackluster even with the 11 speaker sound system.

Thanks again!

Personally, my friends use bluetooth for just the ease. It's all up to personal preference as well as how much of an "audiophile" you are IMO. Personally I have an 08 so I plug my phone in

Hey!!!!!


So I own a beautiful 2010 G37x AWD Coupe and I love it!

One of the only things that comes to mind when I attempt to find a flaw is the fact that the option I have is without navigation which means it does not have an auxiliary 3.5mm input jack.

Inside the center console is a USB port which I currently have a USB flash drive plugged into that contains music. This works great and i'm not a fussy person when it comes to music, but when a friend gets into my car and asks if they can play their own music, im almost embarrassed to say that the car doesn't have an aux cord.

I am curious to see what others have done to overcome this inconvenience.

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

OnlyG37x

I use the bluetooth for both calls & music streaming, pretty simple & sounds fine
Only thing I am running into is when i hit play on the car screen, nothing happens, need to open phone & open spotify for things to start

Bluetooth only works for calls if you don't have the navigation package.
I can use bluetooth to make phone calls, but not to play music.

Do you have the navigation package, Hotsauce55?
