Has anyone seen this happening???

In my brand new G37X, I have this problem which the dealer claims in happening on all G37X. The problem is this

I am playing songs plugging my Iphone to the USB Cable, then change the source to DVD or whatever, then come back to USB cable, song doesn't play....It sure plays, but no audio is heard in the sound system...Has anyone encountered this?

Also, I have a remote starter which does not start my vehicle from my home. Dealer says signals from remote starters cannot travel through walls and we should be facing it at the car at all times to start...Then why the hell do I need it?????By the by, it is a Code Alarm Remote Starter system..

I have a 2010 g37x coupe and don't have this problem. And I mean your suppost tonpoint the remote towards the car but it should go through walls unless they are made of concrete or something

On the iPhone you may have it conveyed through Bluetooth. Open iPod on your iPhone and select the target from the bottom to "dock connector".

Right, that's the problem. When you pass through the Bluetooth audio menu, the car grabs the audio from the phone and the phone won't let go of the bluetooth connection until you set it back to dock connector in the iPod app.

Yeah that happens on my 2011 also and it took me a while to figure it out. It is annoying, but it's nice that you can discretely select one or the other from the phone directly. It'd be nice if the car let go of the bluetooth audio connection when you left the Bluetooth Audio section.

You didn't mention maximizing your remote range, so if you're not already doing this, try it:
Touch the car remote to the underside of your chin and extend your free arm outward when you press the button. This extends the range for all of these types of remotes.
BTW, I also have a Code Alarm on my truck, installed 2002, with remote start, window lowering/upping and an optional? remote antenna installed right above my rear view mirror. I have exceptional range, with obstacles being the reducing factor...
