New Sonic owner, Quebec, Canada

[Williamd]

Hey guys, got myself a '13 Sonic LS, Black Hatchback last week, already got 1,000km on it, lol. Very happy with the car so far! After almost buying a Rio5 (what a nightmare!), not the Rio itself, just the KIA dealer.

Will post up some pics soon, at the moment I've been removing all the lettering off my '04 Aveo (my business car). Selling it so I can invest in the Sonic. 220,000km on it, doesn't take a drop of oil. I will definitely miss her!

Bienvenue! Another black Sonic Hatch up in Canada! Just what we needed lol!

 

[Williamd]

Thanks for the welcome guys! I'm hoping in the next week or so I'll be finished some interior accents cut on my plasma.

Erica, Thank you! I'm really liking the car overall! My only disappointment at the moment is with the base radio. Being that it didn't come with the CD feature. I was told by my dealer, no problem it can play/stream with any bluetooth device. So far, It's not working with my tablets!
It pairs together, but I can't get music to play and I really need my music! lol.

Assuming its an android tablet....

Make sure you have configured your tablet as a storage device through the android menus.

Then, it might matter if it is on the base device or an sdcard. As you know, the USB port will only recognize one device. Computers recognize android+sdcard as two devices.. So if it is on device 2, try putting your microSD into the normal SD adapter and then plug that into an SD USB dongle.. You get to the files that way.

And if you are using a B&N nook, your screwed. They have some proprietary nonsense sitting between the device stack and whatever you plug into. Computers need special software to interface with their stack, which the Mylink/Windows CE probably isn't loaded with...

It's an Android tablet, I'll have to check through the menu's to see what your talking about... I don't have a usb port on my stereo?

You have the Mylink head unit?

If so there is a USB port in your upper glovebox, or whatever they wanna call what is above your glovebox.

No I do not, nor do I have a USB port in the upper glovebox. I'm getting the feeling I'm screwed on getting any music...

The chevy website says that you will have an auxiliary jack (it will look like you can stick in headphones) somewhere, but if its not in the upper glovebox then I don't know where it would be.

Should be the AUX hook up on the right bottom side of the head unit.

Williamd,

I am sorry to hear you are having these concerns with your music. Have you been able to contact your customer service center at 800-263-3777? Have you tried using the AUX input to stream music from the tablet?

[just me]

You can use a 3.5mm cable to plug your tablet in your headunit. Work fine for me.

 

[Williamd]

Thanks guys, yes I knew that I can use the AUX jack. I was under the impression from the sales agent being told that I can use the "bluetooth" to stream the music. Without the need of any cables.

Guess I have no choice but to live with a cable hanging out of the dash!

Blue tooth compatibility is standard on the LT or any model with the MyLink.
