Iphone and bluetooth handsfree help

Post by cullywoo »

Just got my scirocco and can't get bluetooth handsfree to work. Have tried with my iphone and wife's sony ericsson.

I know there are some compatibility issues. Is there anyway to get the iphone to work with the scirocco (highline MDI, with bluetooth phone preparation)? I don't care about phone book access, just want to make calls.

Interestingly I can't get any phone to find the scirocco's bluetooth, but the car will find the phones?

Can't even get it to work for bluetooth music streaming.

What am I doing wrong?

1) Tell us if it was spec'ed as a "Premium Bluetooth" or UHV Bluetooth, then we are better able to help you

2) Either way there is no music streaming - use the wired media in

It is the 'premium bluetooth' i.e not really bluetooth as the rest of the world understands it!
