FIRST POSTING NOt SHOwING ON FORUM

Post by bmck88 »

Just spent 30 minutes posting first time. Message not listed on the forum. Did not see a confirmation of a "save" although an auto save blinked in lower right corner. bmck88

I was trying to determine what is the save procedure when posting a message on this forum. Is there an automatic save function or some other way? bmck88

So I had to try it out to figure it out, this is how you restore it.
Start a new thread, then at the bottom of the editor you should see what I have in the screenshot. Click on that, and it brings it back
The attachment Autosave.PNG is no longer available

Thank you Chris. It appears I am now able to post. Here is what I wanted to bring to the forum. I purchased a Kenwood
Car Audio Radio Model DPX504BT and had it installed. I like the radio but find the manual incomplete and misleading at best. I want to be able to access the phonebook list on the radio's screen so that I can access my list of phone contacts. My phone is connected via Blutooth and I can dial out
via the keypad on the phone but would prefer access to the radio's screen to make a call. Not a major issue for most but certainly one for me. Hopefully my post qualifies for a helpful response. Thank you. bmck88

I'm looking at the manual, and ya it does seem like you should be able to do this. (you're not kidding about a sloppy manual)
So when a call comes in, it appears on the radio screen? And you can answer from the radio?

The manual says something about phone history being supported only if your phone supports PBAP.
When you press the phone icon on the radio what happens?
