SYNC/Google problem

Hello, recently while I'm sitting in my truck (2014 Expedition EL), and I'm surfing the net through Google, when the site pops up for Google, my radio goes silent. It will eventually come back on sometimes. It used to be when I hit the microphone on my phone to speak to text, it would cut off then so the system could record my voice asking google a question. Now, it does it the minute the site comes up after pressing the app. Anyone else have this issue or a possible solution? It shouldn't be happening this way so something is screwed up. Thanks.

Good 'ol Chrome acting up again. It must be taking hold of the bluetooth connection when it starts. Other than find another browser, I don't know what else to say.

Type this into the URL in Chrome:

chrome://flags/#enable-web-bluetooth

Is it already enabled or does it just say "Enable" ?

Thanks for the advice. I can't get it to load in my phone for some reason. I believe I'm using regular Google, not Chrome, as I thought the symbol was different. Maybe I'm wrong. But it's driving me nuts. Thanks again.

Try Chrome and see if it still whacks the bluetooth

thanks for the advice. Are there any drawbacks to having Chrome on my iPhone as opposed to normal Google? Also, I was wondering if maybe going to Firefox on my iPhone might not take care of it. Thoughts?

In my experience, Chrome and Firefox MIGHT be slower than the stock browser. Or, they might not be, depending on the hardware in your phone.

It doesn't hurt to try, you can uninstall them if you want.
