VW premium bluetooth fitted, but bluetooth not active???
Garth:
I fitted the VW premium bluetooth yesterday and mortygttdi came round to code it up. Now the unit is coded and VCDS says it's there and there are no faults with it, but I cannot see the bluetooth when I search for it. I have tried this from 3 different phones and none can even see the car kit when I search for bluetooth devices. When I press the mute button on the steering wheel (now coded as voice control) I get a message over the speakers saying no phone connected. This obviously means the system is active, so why can't I find it?
I tried Darren's kit with my phone and it did find and connect to his, so it can't be a problem with my phone, but we spent ages trying to get it working and couldn't.
I think the problem is one of the following:
1) The unit is deffective
2) The bluetooth broadcasting is disabled and needs to be actived somehow
3) The unit is not receiving the ignition signal to tell it to go into pairing mode
4) It is not compatible with my car for some reasson (I have an old CAN gateway if that matters)
Any ideas people? I'll send a treat to whoever comes up with the winning answer :grin:

SteveP:
What part number is the control unit?
As with the current premuim bluetooth (like I have in my Mk6) you pair it from the car through the highline display.
Garth:
No sure on the part number.
Yes you're right, when I paied with Darren's car, we did it through the highline on his. BUT, my car does not have highline, so I don't know where else to try from. I thought I could use this setup through the RCD510, but hen I press the phone button, it just displays 'no user active' and there are no options.
Is there another way of doing the pairing when there is no highline display??
Thanks for the quick response by the way
:happy2:

Need to know the P/No really mate.
In the 729x models there is an adaptation channel to enable/disable BT but by default it is enabled.
Garth:
thanks, I'll pull it out again today and check. The unit is temporarily mounted beind the climate controls until I get the braket for under the drivers seat, so it's not a quick job getting it out t the moment!
