I am having intermittent issues with the SoundExtreme SEB26 not connecting correctly to my smartphone via Bluetooth.
The Bluetooth module and microcontroller within the SoundExtreme SEB26 sound bar has a “boot-up” and “power-down” sequence that the unit goes through when turned on and off respectively. This process takes several seconds (~3-5 seconds) to complete. If the SoundExtreme SEB26 is on and 12V supply power is cut off from the speaker and then quickly power is returned to the speaker, it may cause the SoundExtreme SEB26 to get stuck in the “boot-up” mode when you turn the SoundExtreme SEB26 back on again. The best way to reset the SoundExtreme SEB26 unit to normal function is to unplug the SoundExtreme SEB26 from the 12V power supply (i.e. battery) for ~10 seconds and then plug it back in. After this, the SoundExtreme should work properly when turned on again.
Can the SoundExtreme SEB26 be set up to automatically power on when my vehicle is turned on?
No, the SoundExtreme SEB26 will enter “sleep mode” . you must turn the speaker fully ON by either pressing the POWER button on the SoundExtreme SEB26 or on the remote provided with the SoundExtreme SEB26.
