Bluetooth not working

Post by ph001 » Fri Nov 10, 2017 11:46 am

Yeh, same here - can never get it to go into pairing mode. I even had the main dealer put it on diagnostics and clear all the previous phones out...still wouldn't go into pairing mode. They were pretty clueless after that but recommended a new ULF module at some crazy cost (even though the diag said the module was not faulty). They checked the button on the centre pull down and that was fine. My thread here....viewtopic.php?f=2&t=99347

Out of interest do you still have the phone cradle attached in the door of the centre console (just above the Bluetooth pair button) if so remove it and try again.

Also FYI disconnecting the battery doesn't delete paired phones

Ah ok, that’s good to know about the paired phones! In the centre console I have a sprung tray and a connector, but nothing connected.

Steely - did you ever resolve this? Tried a new ULF module?

Not yet.. i need to get the module out and get the part number, waiting for better weather to tackle that and a couple of other small jobs at the same time.
