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 blink.gif ). Anyway..now i'm back with the V36 (never learned my lesson biggrin.gif )..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 cool.gif ) but i could not, for the life of me, get the bluetooth to work!!! :ermm: . 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!!... :ermm:

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.

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...

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.

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      Thanks for sharing. That's a great video! My buddy is doing the same thing on his build (S chassis struts and towers). He's building an S14 with billet RB30 shooting for 2000whp... a race car with a TH400 just like this video. For a road car I just couldn't go this route as the strut has to be almost vertical and the caster is not going to pivot correctly (let alone camber gain). You think the R32 frontend is bad, wait till you put a MacPherson strut on without modeling it all in Solidworks to check geometry. I'm not saying it's a bad way to do it but I'd be really curious to see how it affects the geometry.

      Hey Christof and welcome!  Sounds like an awesome project! I'm not sure many of the regular users on here would know much about the HK but I could be wrong.  Looking forward to updates.

      HK Premier with plans for slight mods, but keeping clean and simple

      By Christof · Posted

      First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions.

      I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
