Phone / Bluetooth has disappeared

It's not showing up in the dis booth

Can't be a coincidence that it's been in the bodyshop and come back not working.  Probably some oaf like tech has accidentally kicked the box under the driver's seat.  That purple wire definitely looks like it should be connected to something.  Didn't take the lid off mine, but if I get time tommorow, I'll have a look.  Too dark and windy tonight.  Does the lid just pull off?

Yeah that's what I told the guy, I mean they are a vw repair centre so they should know what they are doing. I was told they would have no reason to touch it but still, it was working like a beaut before I left it in and now it's disappeared. I fail to see how you could manage to kick it, it's well tucked away. Yeah the polystyrene box is just Velcro tabbed on.

Thanks for your help, I just couldn't see what the purple lead connected too.

Managed to have a look.  Bored and any excuse to escape the family at Xmas 

No purple cable in mine, just the thick black cable connecting to the box.  No other ports on the box either.  Are Fiscon aftermarket units, not factory fit?

Found this http://fiscon-mobile.com/support/img/fiscon_vw_en.pdf  (see Page 6) which may explain the unhooked purple cable, IF the Fiscon unit is an aftermarket fit.  If so, it looks like it should be unhooked as it's from the original interface and is replaced solely by the fiscon connector.  Course I could be entirely wrong!

Also came across this advice for the same problem on another forum

"I had to disconnect the battery from the motor, left it for half a hour then connected it back up again. Then start the car up and then search for bluetooth devices. "KUFATEC FISCON" then appeared on my iPhone and put the code "1234" in and i was connected"

I don't really know if it was aftermarket, it looks pretty neat in there so I assumed it was factory fitted. I bought the car with 20k on it. I'll have a look again in daylight and maybe try disconnecting the battery, I suppose it's quite possible they had it disconnected when working on it. They have suggested bringing it back for them to look at but that's not ideal with Xmas and a few other things going on.

Cheers

My box has no branding on it at all but is factory fit.   Good luck, hope you get it sorted.

Mine did this a few times, just unplug and replug the module in and do a reset on the 510

Hopefully the above will work.

You could also try doing a hard reset on your iphone, even though the phone recognises the car.   My rcd510 wouldn't recognise my ipod a few weeks back and doing a hard reset on the iPod worked.
