If I set this stereo to the "bluetooth" input source, will it stay there permanently, even after switching the car off, and back on again?

Yes. I've owned this head unit for about 6 months. Whichever input you set (tuner, aux, Bluetooth, etc.), it will remain on that setting even after turning off and on your vehicle. It's a great unit .... I highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

Yes it stays on whatever setting you last left it on. It even continues to play the song from my phone that it stayed on

I can't confirm the Bluetooth setting, but it does stay on USB or FM settings. It will stay on the USB even if I remove the drive so I imagine the Bluetooth would stay on as well.

Yes until you change it but don't understand why. After u sync your phone. Every time you get in and start car your phone automatically connects and when you get phone call it interrupts any other source. If you put phone on Bluetooth audio it automatically play whatever music is on your phone so maybe that helps

Well I have my phone (iPhone 4S) connected via Bluetooth. I just had to sync it once. So yes, it will stay there permanently.

It will not affect that functionality if you are connected to that system. However, after installing this, you will have two Bluetooth systems in the car. You will have to go into your phone's Bluetooth menu and tell it which connection to use each time you want to switch. Your phone will use the device that is currently connected so, if you're using this device to stream music and a call comes in, it will want to answer through this device too. It's not that it's 'taking over' your handsfreelink. It's that you've specifically told your phone to connect to this device and not the other. You might want to consider purchasing a Bluetooth music interface and not one that does hands-free calling also. Those usually connect via a different profile, so your phone can distinguish between music and phone calls and you don't have to switch manually. Of course, you might not be able to find one that is specific to Acura vehicles. You might have to settle for one that plugs in your antenna jack.

This is not necessarily a problem. If you have an Android phone, after pairing the device, you can go into Bluetooth settings for the device and uncheck the box for "Use for phone audio". Make sure the "Use for media audio" box is checked. This will allow you to still use your car's BT calling features while retaining the ability to stream media through this receiver.

The product has a sensor that will connect automatically upon re-entering the car. The device will say "attempting to connect" when you open the door or unlock the door to get in. Then - it will connect and say "connected". The device will go to 'sleep' after leaving the car. The only thing to watch for that if your car is very close to where you are with the phone - it will stay connected within a certain range...but you can always turn Bluetooth off on your phone.

No. It connects with your device through bluetooth, and then rebroadcasts the signal to a radio station. So, you just tune your car radio to the right channel.

I also purchased one of these not too long ago. And I also had the exact same issues you are having. The only way I could get it to work is to turn off the car. Forget the device from my Bluetooth trusted devices in my phone. Then start car back up and re-pair tunelink with phone. ...I will say, I do recommend you return your Tunelink or have them send you another one because you will continue to have this issue.

Yes, this seems to be a common problem across all BMW radios. I use mine on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. The Bluetooth drops, and comes back on every 10-15 minutes or so. Can get quite annoying. The only way out is to rip out the factory radio and put in an aftermarket unit with a dash kit. I ruins the aesthetics of the dash. But you do gain all the new technological features (HD/Sat radio, Pandora, BT streaming...etc).

It will connect automatically , but it won't start playing . You have to hit play either on the screen or on your device. The player will put the song on pause when you turn off the car and unless it's playing when you connect it you have to unpause it.

iirc I had this problem too at first. Look under the properties of the other bluetooth devices you have and *un*check media from them. Leave this as the only one with media selected (or only one connected at any one time).For me turned out my parrot speakerphone in my car was set for media and so my phone defaulted to that.

It will turn itself off after not being used (connected to a device) for a short time. I found it to be a pain, because my tape deck was behind the motorized front of the the stereo and I'd have to take it out and turn it back on whenever I would stop for a few minutes.

When i remove this from my car the station remains the same on both the car and the transmitter however i use the default transmittions station i only founded it on my radio and add it to memory on the car stereo, i never changed the transmittion station on my device...

Mine does, whatever your settings are for your stereo, it will use the same settings.

Not necessarily. When calls come in on my 2011 S5 it stops the music, but the call comes in on the phone, not the car speakers. if you switch it to speakerphone it automatically switches back to regular phone. It's really annoying so I just turn off bluetooth at that point and use the speakerphone. It also periodically drops the bluetooth for 10-15 seconds maybe once every 15-20 minutes.

It will reconnect automatically. This model will also start playing your music when you get back in the car without you having to start it again.

Once you connect the devices (like you would pair a phone to any blue tooth device) it connects at the time of activation and stays connected. If a phone call comes in it will disable the intercom for phone connection. Once the phone call is over it will automatically reconnect to the intercom. I use this for extreme off road riding to stay connected with my son and listen to my I-phone. works flawless up to this point.

yes it stays on the same audio if you stop it and will start where you left it.

Nope. It plugs in directly to your AUX jack, with no way of changing to another form of input.
