Default Making calls through Boom audio

This may be covered somewhere in the manual and I just missed it. I was riding today and made a call though they system. Admittedly, I don't do that very often. That all worked well but my music came back and it seemed to freeze up. I had to go thru the prompts to finally get it working again. Is there something I need to do after the call stops. I was listening to Spotify through my iPhone and it was hooked up to the USB port. It was weird. Thanks for any input.

I haven't used a streaming provider for music on my phone so I don't know if that was the issue. So far with my phone iPhone 6 hooked up via USB port or a media stick in the USB port I haven't had an issue with the music not resuming after a call. I do have issues with the stereo freezing up and not wanting to work again until after the bike has been shutdown when using a thumb drive, so far haven't had that issue with my phone being used as a source though.

FYI if you haven't tried it yet don't bother blue tooth streaming your music. sounds like *****. But it does in my truck as well so I always plug the USB in.

I have used my phone with USB music playing and Pandora streaming while using the phone. While using USB for music, after a phone call the USB continues. While streaming Pandora after the phone call, Pandora will go into pause and I have to manually hit play on the phone to get it to resume.

Yes- I noticed that. I actually have Spotify offline so it's playing the music that was downloaded. Prob is I have it in the storage area with that little door hooked up to the USB. It's hard to pull that thing out and have it resume while riding

dspencer- I have not experienced the situation you mentioned - however, perhaps you will consider this.

Transfer all of your music to a flash drive - it will play forever. Then, simply Bluetooth your phone and if a call comes in, all will work just fine
