Hi guys, trying to suss out the Bluetooth in my car but it seems something is wrong with it.

when I go to pair my phone, my-car does not appear on the pairing screen or my phone. You can see what I mean in the images attached it says “*”, when it should be saying “my-car”.

Any help appreciated

I had no idea our vehicles had a "root" button. To think all this time I was paying for it!

Anyway, on a serious note, it seems that the Bluetooth ID of your vehicle has been overwritten by the previous owner (or yourself when sifting through the various settings). You can change that name again though I'm struggling to remember which submenu option it was in the Bluetooth menu. I'll get back to you on that.

Yes pretty much you are looking for * in the bluetooth pairing on your phone..

I have also attached the instructions for the V36 audio that I think you were looking for.

Ahh okay, so must be a different problem then as I’m not seeing * pop up on my phones Bluetooth. Could it be because I’m using iPhone X? I seen somewhere that later model phones don’t pair with skylines system.

Damn I got no other phone atm. Would you have any idea why my bluetooth would not be appearing? I've followed the guide setting passcode, entering my phone number etc but no success. Here’s what my Bluetooth info looks like, anything look wrong there?

I suspect the asterisk for the Bluetooth name is an illegal character for Apple perhaps. I still haven't had the chance to go through the menus and determine where you can change the name back to my-car or whatever else you want to call it but that would be the first place I'd look for troubleshooting.

I had an iPX and it was connecting fine for me. I'll try tonight with my iP12 and see if it still works. I gave up with BT audio since it sounded so eh.

    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
