Title: Connecting iphone to built in bluetooth phone system
Post by: Steezy on 13 February 2013, 13:35: Hi all

I'm new to this forum so apologies if you've already answered this but I can't find the answer anywhere.

I recently bough a second hand 2008 golf 2.0 tdi gt sport and I can't work out how to set up my phone with the bluetooth connection (it has the built in satnav, media, radio, etc touch screen bit in the car).

I wonder if anyone has a step by step guide on how to link the phone with the telephone bluetooth?

Thanks

Are you 100% sure its fitted with bluetooth? :undecided: Sounds daft but the previous owner may not have specced the bluetooth. Just because its fitted with satnav doesn't automatically mean its got the bluetooth module fitted; they were separate options. It could be the previous owner has retro-fitted the satnav as its a popular upgrade :smiley:

Turn the ignition on

Go to Setting > Bluetooth . search devices

If found it should appear and then ask you to pair; think the code is 1234 or something like that. Also if you have several devices paired with your iPhone, delete them all so that the phone has a good chance of pairing with the module (if fitted)

Hope that helps

I tried searching for devices last night and the phone found the car through bluetooth but it didn't ask me for anything else (i.e. didn't ask for a code) and then I couldn't figure out how to use the phone through the car.

I'm guessing if the phone found the car's bluetooth, then the car must have bluetooth...

Is there anything I need to do with the car (other than having the ignition on) to connect the two?

Thanks for your help.
