How do folks generally set up their iPhone with the S, for normal operation?
I generally (always) run with my iPhone paired to the car, so the phone functionality works correctly. That part is flawless. The phone rings in the car, bluetooth audio is great, etc.
Typically though, I prefer to run with Tune-in or Slacker as the audio source (or even FM radio, although that is rare). What I have found is the car maintains a media connection to the iPhone, even when the iPhone is not selected as the audio source. This causes all secondary sounds the phone produces to be dumped. No text or email alerts are audible at all. In fact even a recording you might have been listening to away from the car, continues to play when you get in, yet is not audible because it is playing in to an audio input that is not selected.
I suppose it could be considered a good thing to avoid the distractions while driving. But I would like to at least know when an email or text comes in, even if just on the internal speaker in the iPhone.
Is there a setup option I missed, allowing iPhone audio to always be mixed with system audio? Or some other way to avoid the always on, but dumped if not selected, operation of the iPhone?
