Bluetooth menu gone!

ady_1 · 09-01-2009, 08:02 PM

Hey

i have a bmw professional system not idrive. and the bluetooth was working perfect until one day.. the fone icon on the screen changed into 2 dashes ( --)

now by pressing the BT button on the menu it does nothing! and my fone will never pair coz it cant find the BMW BT!

is there a way to reset the bluetooth on the car?

an autoelectrician said if i removed the battery that it wud reset everything BUT the airbags and all the warning lights will come on until i take it to bmw for a reset. is that true?

thanks

I don't know about re-setting the BT but the statement that the airbag warning lights will come on if you unplug the battery is nonsense.

just disconnected the battery and the bluetooth still does not work!

any help?

thanks

go to the dealer and get the function turned on

if its lost the coding somehow, you can only activate it by ISS or SSS coding..

+1 Sounds like the car has 'forgotten' that it has the bluetooth function fitted! Will need a re-code by the dealer (if under warranty) or a decent indy (if out of warranty)

Hi,
i found why my car had the -- signs. There are several components to the bluetooth system. The one to blame for me was the aerial. Which is located on the panel below the glove box. This panel also houses the temperature sensor. This was loose was some odd reason. Maybe previous work dunno really. Here is the link to the pdf that may help you
