Re : Kotix
The preselect buttons (1-6) don't appear to work when using the NewMusic default music player. The directional arrows buttons do work though as well as the steering controls. (IIRC it was the same issue with the standard ROM trying to use the 1-6 preselect buttons)
The 1-6 preselect buttons can be programmed for the radio app but it's using the scan and store radio station scanner. (i.e. It only saves the first 6 stations it comes across and there is no way that I have found to set them yourself so pretty useless actually. Unless I'm missing something here which is quite possible)
Point 1. Which buttons are you referring to here ? If it's the AUX, CD/DVD, FAV ones, yes some of them can be set using the S160 Keys app.
I have Aux set to run NewMusic default player and I have FAV programmed to run Google Maps.
Point 2. I use Google Maps and don't have that issue where Bluetooth takes over all of the screen. The caller details appear across the top 20% of the screen but the rest of the Google Maps Nav screen is displayed. (I tested that this morning on the way to Tesco)
Point 3. I've tried a bunch of different music players but when it's all said and done, each one of them has a problem or 2 in some or other way.
The problems encountered are:-
1. Can't use steering controls.
2. Can't find the SD card
3. Can't skip tracks
4. Crashes constantly
5. Poor user interface design or just not suitable to the screen layout
6. Sound disappears once the sat nav gives directions.
7. Poor sound
In the end I always revert back to NewMusic which is the most stable and works fine 99.9% of the time. (Default Shuffle function is OFF in the Kotix rom version)
As mentioned above, my AUX button is programmed to run NewMusic
Just my 2 cents worth..
Why can't your iPhone can be used as a mobile hotspot/for tethering ? Once it is set up as a hotspot, connect to the iPhone using the Wifi settings on the M072. I do this all the time with my Samsung S7 primarily for Google maps.
