Hello everybody. Need advice for my sport line

[john grindlay]

Hi. I've had my sport line for 3 months now. It's a 16. Love it!
I do however have a few niggling probs that maybe someone on here can help me with!

Is it possible to turn off the parking sensors beeping permanetly.
Also this mutes the radio which annoys me.
I have an Iphone 6 and when I scroll through contacts on the kenwood header it only shows a proportion of my contacts that are on my phone.
Help!

Have you got emojis on your contacts because this can cause problems?

 

[john grindlay]

No emojis I'm afraid. Thanks for your response though.

Sounds like you have an aftermarket stereo fitted so dont think we are going to be able to offer much advice as not that many people have them, @Absolut5 may be able to offer some wisdom

Dont want to sound rude but are you 100% you have a T6 sportline as to my knowledge they weren't out 3 months ago ??
If you can give us a bit more detail we may be able to help more, do you have front and rear sensors or only rears, have heard of towbars incorrectly fitted causing rear sensors to beep all the time when trailer is hitched
What exact headunit do you have ??
How about a few pictures, we love pictures !

Hi Pauly. Thanks for reply. Ah I think I have made a mistake! I have the T5 60th edition. I got mixed up with my t's!
Yea front and rear sensors. They work fine but I was wondering if there was an option to kill the beeping and the radio muting so I can just have the visual guidance.
It's a kenwood dnx525dab.
I will get some pictures sorted.

Got to say I'm not that impressed with the Kenwood. Noticed it retails at around £900. I don't think it's user friendly. Who designs these things! slowly getting to grips with it- it's just so illogical. I found the sound quality not that great either so I got an amp and speakers put in along with door sound proofing. It's banging now!
Oh yea and I have got heavy duty seat covers on the seats because i'm a builder- kind of spoils the fact that it has leather seats. Still, i'm planning on driving down to the south of France next summer- it might be the only time the leather sees the light of day!

We have removed May of these Kenwood 525s and replaced with the much user friendly, better sounding Pioneers..

Though I've never been asked, The only way to stop the beeps is by VCDS or unplug the sounders.. regarding the muting, I think the only way is to unplug the mute wire coming from the CanBus box behind the radio...

We had one in our last California; it was cack.
