New Member - GTD Bluetooth Phone Connection...

[cosmicremedy]

Hi there,

I have just joined this forum over the last few days and have now collected my GTD this afternoon and i am over the moon with it...! 

I am trying to connect my iPhone 4s but having some trouble.  I do a search and my phone is picked up on the devices list on the car but when i try to connect it says "Mobile phone is not compatible" (on the maxidot).  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Martin

Welcome to the forum Martin when I picked my car up from the dealers they paired my phone up with it I have had a look on YouTube typing in how to pair iPhone to golf maybe that will help hope you get connected soon enjoy your gtd charlie

As Charlie said my dealer also paired my phone before driving off the forecourt, oh and I also have a 4s...which works fine once paired..

How can you tell if your car has Bluetooth? Just by searching for bluetoothndevices on your phone? There are a few phone buttons in my car but not had a proper play yet

they fit the phone buttons on the steering wheel as standard I'm not 100% sure but if you turn your stereo on and press the phone button  a phone symbol with a slash thew it shows up on the top left of the radio this will tell you you don't have Bluetooth  I'm no expert but hope this has been of use

When you turn on Bluetooth on your iPhone, do you see VW PHONE listed under Devices?  I've had a 4 and 5 and both iPhones have connected to Bluetooth in my GTD without any problem.

There should be a Bluetooth menu in the DIS. Scroll through using the <> buttons on the right hand side of the steering wheel. It goes something like, Trip Computer - Audio - Vehicle Set Up - Bluetooth.

You pair your phone from the DIS, not from the phone.

Hi, i have the standard - non colour head unit....  I think it is the 310?

This is my head unit:

That's an RCD510 without DAB.

As I said before, scroll through the DIS to see if you have the Bluetooth module fitted. It is separate to the head unit.
