Installed XM radio 2 weekends ago and have had the issue where the radio and phone fight for my car speakers. 90% of the time the radio wins. Calls ring tjrough the phone, I can answer with the steering wheel button, voice comes through speaker for a few seconds and then changes back over to the radio and I can no longer hear the person. Seeing as I drive manual, I'm not trying to drive with a cell in hand. So my question is (because I have not found an answer online) is this a isolated car issue or does this always happen with aftermarket XM radio? I hate having to decide whether to expect a call, or listen to the radio. Both of which I pay for a service.

Is this a OE Suzuki XM radio module you're talking about? If so, where the heck did you get one of those (unless it was already in your car)?

This is really ticking me off because talking on the phone is not really possible with a manual trans, and even worse is having it on speaker... no one can hear! Help please, or is this terminal. This could be a deal breaker with the car.

Try disconnecting the car battery for several minutes. That should reset everything with the stereo. If that doesn't resolve it, looks like you have a broken Bluetooth adapter in the stereo.DesRado wrote:Alright, so it seems my blue tooth has gone out altogether.

It fixed itself. Weird, I turned the car on next day and all of a sudden it started attempting to connect to my phone. I'm relieved, because I was NOT about to be driving around all the time yelling at my phone on speaker.
