I just got a 2017 Prius. I have an iphone 5S. When I try to listen to podcasts stored on the phone over bluetooth playback is garbled. It sounds as though I am hearing 2 second bursts every 3 or 4 seconds and the sound is weird, perhaps backwards, or sped up, or something. If I reset either my phone, the car system, or simply turn the phone bluetooth off and on it works just fine, until I turn the car off. Then the same problem with the same solution. Any idea what is happening here?
