Haa found this problem also from day one however did some reading with the V36 translation guide and its one of the options set as Auto Divert calls to someone in Japan.

Go Into Settings

Go To Phone (5th option)

then the 3rd option with the ON indicator is the auto divert.

Make sure this is NOT ON!

Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

the full guide is worth a read.

PM the tech master Chris Rogers - he has said previously that a phone's ability to communicate with the V36 Bluetooth is dependent on the phone's firmware. The older tech in the V36 is often not compatible with the new Bluetooth firmware in modern phones. I believe the fix to this would be to jailbreak your phone and change the Bluetooth firmware to an older version.

My iPhone is working fine with my bluetooth on the V36. Mines a 2007 car. But I think what Matt said might be right.

Else, remove all phones that are in the bluetooth database and connect again and try.

Thanks guys, got it to work by following legionme's step.

This bugged me for the first week I had the car. I thought something was up and read the guide and turned off the auto decline call option and wow I can receive calls. Yea.

Depends on the features one seeks to use from their Bluetooth protocol, with later versions of Bluetooth essentially just adding more features. As I mentioned in the translation thread late last year, the one major problem I've encountered and discussed with others (across other vehicles too, such as from Toyota, etc) is the inability to access the phonebook in an iPhone. This is not a firmware incompatibility issue. It's Apple dictating what can and can't be shared over Bluetooth. I can't say I understand why but it is what it is.

Nevertheless, since you've got an Android phone, it won't be so tightly sealed up, thankfully.

better way of putting it really I was aiming at that myself but in laymans terms. every aftermarket manu had to chase after apple to fix their IOS6 bug with streaming and bt functionality.

Sorry Chris. The engineer in me gets carried away at times. Not sure if that's a nerd thing or an ego thing. My sincerest apologies mate.

[Chris Rogers]

No issue. We both have similar backgrounds. I try to dumb it down too much at times.
