| Lots of cool buttons |
Linda tackled another high-tech geek kind of task all by herself today. Yesterday, she was able to get the contacts moved onto her phone without someone doing it for her. She did have Apple Man walk her though it, but she still had to press the right keys and do all the steps herself. Today, she noticed that her iPhone 4 and Kia Soul were not friends. The last phone and the car were best buddies. You just pressed a button on the steering wheel and said "Call Tierney" and the phone automatically dials. Then Linda could just talk in the air and hear Tierney just like she was sitting in the car next to her. She could also answer calls and listen to her music on the iPhone just using the steering wheel. The Soul was not synced with her new phone and since the car salesman did it at the time she purchased the vehicle, she had no idea what to do. Linda got out the car owners book and walked through all the steps. At first, the car kept talking to her in French and Linda had no idea what to do since she speaks zero French. Then Linda figured out how to switch to English (but only after it got stuck on Spanish) and followed the voice prompts. Shazam! The new phone now works perfect with the Kia. Before long Linda is going to be able to get a part-time job at The Geek Squad.
