Bluetooth/Phone Kit Options Again!!
I have an 05 SE with the phone buttons on the right hand side of the steering wheel but when these are pressed it reads on the radio display PHONE NOT FITTED. Is it possible that I have a vehicle that has the steering wheel buttons but no bluetooth/phone kit fitted - how can I tell. If this is the case what are my options - I would prefer if I could utilise these buttons on the steering wheel with an aftermarket kit - any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Wiggs
No bluetooth devices found is all I can get from both the blackberry and the nokia. It looks like bluetooth is not fitted - how do I know this for sure - also, is there any chance that the bluetooth may be switched off.
Thanks

Looked behind the moulding in the passenger footwell, couldn't find a module just this connector. Is this the connector for the bluetooth module or is it behind the drivers side moulding?

Probably removed by a previous owner. The early units gave all sorts of troubles, one being an annoying 'Listening' message when sometimes starting the car that continued until you pull the voice activation switch to cancel it. A much updated unit is available - mine should arrive this week

You can confirm that is the connector for the bluetooth module - I have been made aware that there are two modules - one for the phone kit and one for bluetooth.

Gotcha. I gather that this car is not fitted with the factory PTI kit then, no dock for a phone cradle under the armrest lid? "PHONE NOT FITTED" (or is it "NO PHONE FITTED"? ) appears on the LCD of my radio as well, whenever my BT phone is not connected to the factory PTI for whatever reason, if I pull one of those steering wheel paddle thingies.Umberto B
