How To Pair A Bluetooth Phone In A V36

[Haxorz]

Yeah same here. Tried it again and no good.

I can select Bluetooth as Source, and can see all the play/stop buttons etc on the menu, but it has some kind of Message Box saying 'Bluetooth <Japanese>'. I wonder if there is a setting in the Bluetooth menu.

I have an iPhone 3GS and it is paired and working to dial numbers.

Hi guys..new here..well kind of anyway. Used to post back when i have my V35 (totalled ). Anyway..now i'm back with the V36 (never learned my lesson )..and since i can't remember my old user ID..had to register a new one..

Anyway, just bought myself a 2008 V36 coupe with Nav, music box, Side & Rear camera, leather seats. Not sure if i have the premium Bose or not (still no clue what model/package that is actually). I manage to work out quite a few of those Japanese menus/buttons (due to previous experience with my V35 ) but i could not, for the life of me, get the bluetooth to work!!! . I manage to get to the menu where there is "Bluetooth" in the menu but the "Bluetooth On" button is greyed out. There is only 3 selectable buttons there which is the Bluetoth password change (the one where you can enter numbers), Bluetooth info and a button which leads to a lists of Japanese menus.

Is my bluetooth on already? if not, how do i on it? Before anyone ask, i know i have bluetooth as there is the phone & voice commannd button on my steering wheel. HELP ME!!...

PS: Oh yeah..i have a Sony Erricson Satio phone.

sorry to dig up an old thread, but how did you get bluetooth to turn on again? mine's greyed out as well and only have 3 options available.. i pressed something and then something else, and now the option to turn bluetooth on is no longer available...

Hi guys.... not too sure if everyone has found a way to play music from your phone via bluetooth but I had a bit of a play with it yesterday. I initially got my phone connected and can make calls but had trouble getting the system to play music from my phone. After some trying, I found out that it's because the system is set up to play music from the car's japanese owner's phone. I think all you need to do is to go to your bluetooth setting and select the right handset. I tried this and noticed that there are 2 phones setup with the previous owner's phone selected. So all i did was to select my phone and then delete the previous owner's phone from the list and I can now play music from my phone.

Result!!!

Does it allow you to control the songs from the audio system, or do you still need to do this from the phone?

[win4ever]

I can get the music and I can play, stop and change track on the steering control. Don't need to do it from the phone.

[nickcorr]

It gets even better...

Now to find the car... Anyone know of a dark V36 Sedan SP with Tan, not beige, interior?

Here is a step by step youtube video on pairing your phone to the car.

NB: The demonstration is done in a GTR essentially its the same operating menu, I've trailed it several times on v36s.

I have tried every phone anyone has in my house and none will work not even a crappy little Nokia C2 lol btw phones i tried are Iphone 3Gs, Iphone 4s, Smasung S2, HTC Velocity, HTC One (m7) and the Nokia and still no luck with the bluetooth streaming, the problem has to be software based as 3 yrs ago my 3Gs worked in my friends car...

Can a fellow member post up step by step instructions on pair Bluetooth to play music?

Guys, how do i pair up my blue tooth to play music?

[Alkatraz]

Once the phone is paired via the normal means (aka. the instructions in this thread) then you should simply need to hit either the DISK button on the main control panel or Source button on the steering wheel controls and it should cycle through to Bluetooth music. Normally is cycles through Music Box, CD etc but once the bluetooth is connected then it should come up as another option.

I've actually heard that bluetooth music was only introduced to the USDM models in 2010, so I really don't know why my 2008 JDM has it.

Mine has a nasty habit of randomly disconnecting though for some reason. Works 100% with just the phone but as soon as I try playing music, it will play for a random amount of time and then disconnect the bluetooth. Turning bluetooth off/on on the phone fixes it up straight away but its still makes it too painful to use. I am guessing that it has something to do with it being a 2008 bluetooth system and a 2011 phone.

Sudden thought......the above is with my old Galaxy S2 and I actually have a Galaxy S4 now. When I get home, i'll give it a try and see if it has the same problem.

Mine's a 2007 and I have Bluetooth music and I never had any issues with playing music or making phone calls. No cuts, disconnections, nothing. Tried with iPhone 4, 4s and 5 all good.

iPhone 5 here. Works fine for me. Music and calls

[asitag]

i have the Galaxy S3 and it's pretty poor. I had an iPhone 4 previously and it worked great!

damn android!!!

[MFC05]

My Bluetooth is connected I can receive and make calls. But i cant play music on mine.

[MFC05]

Can anyone suggest a solution to rectify this situation?

I am getting a error from my Bluetooth menu- could this be the cause?

Says something like bluetooth audio not selected ??? I could be way off.

You need to go to your bluetooth audio setting and select your phone as a audio player

Watch this video

Hope it works.

Let me know if it works.
