Help with Bluetooth Audio streaming

Yeah that was my angle, there is no standard playlist functionality in the a2dp/avrcp protocol. VW is very standards based when it comes to their infotainment integration.

Don't buy an mdi cable for the aus mk7 as they don't have mdi. Sd card or USB only.

I'm wondering have any fellow Golf7 owners found since upgrading to iOS7 that the BT Audio playback is noticeably more "jumpy" than it was in iOS6?

I often use the Hamish & Andy app to replay the podcast. In iOS6 once I press play it just flows along without "hiccups" in the playback. You know where like the audio stutters or pauses for a millisecond and then continues on?

In iOS6 it happened only when I had competiting instructions like say Google Maps doing a voiceover at the same time it might create hiccups.

In iOS7 however I've noticed that even when its just H&A playing that it definitely stutters from time to time. Little millisecond pauses here and there.
I would definitely say I find iOS7 BT to be less stable than it was in iOS6. Bigger question is this a BT software fix on Apples part over time or is it on the VW end that they need to update their head unit?

I'm thinking Apple end as BT is a protocol so....doesn't really need updating.

I also listed to hamish and andy podcasts and haven't had any issues with ios7.

Are you downloading the podcast before you start listening? It might be downloading while you're listening

Yeah I have to agree, I think it's just the iOS. I'll just wait for a update probably.

I also listen to podcasts/music steaming over BT on iOS 7 with 5s and haven't noticed any issues.

Not sure where your problem lies.

You've probably already done it, but try rebooting the phone. Amazing what problems this fixes on the iPhone.

At least provide information when you're being a dipstick, that'd be super...

For instance the Golf 7 can have a MDI unit, its just not in the current AU spec ones. Will it come with the Discover Pro? Who knows.
