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.

What phone you using there bud?

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.

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
