Finally got round to using my Nanocom to update the Bluetoth ECU software so my iPhone works properly. No more pairing each time I get in the car (when I could be bothered) and in car phone book enabled to boot!! Very happy. :D:D:D

Was your BT factory installed, or did you fit it yourself?

It's the factory install. The early D3's had an issue with iPhones not reconnecting via Bluetooth every time you started the car. If you don't have the capability to reprogram ecu's (e.g. Nanocom) then there is an exchange service available from the UK Bluetooth Exchange (http://www.bluetoothexchange.co.uk).

Ok, thanks. I'm going to buy a complete kit from Wiggs from that site, so was just wondering if you had done the same.

I was going to get an exchange unit but when I bought the Nanocom I discovered I could do the software upgrade myself. I didn't realise Wiggs sold install kits. Do you need to upgrade the stereo/infotainment system too?

I didn't realise this was possible via nanocom!
I have an issue with my Bluetooth where about 30 seconds into every call it breaks up and sounds like I'm "underwater" to the receiver and the same when they talk to me.
I wondering if this would help. I have a HTC one m8

I seem to remember reading about a similar issue on Disco3.co.uk site. I'll see if I can find it again. ECU updates are available from the Nanocom Genesis website. Just be careful that the software revision matches the ECU assembly numbers you have.

Having a look on the site, there seems to be a guy "wiggz" that does a lot of Bluetooth stuff and suggests a swap to a D4 Bluetooth module is viable and get extra features. I need to check if I have the after market or original kit I guess.

Wiggs is the guy whose site is referenced in post #3 of this thread...

Yep. Does the exchange service.

Went out to the car to check what password I have to pair with. It didn't accept 2121, and I don't have a voice control button which I think means I have LR after market kit not the PTI.

looks like I would have to retrofit the full most wiring etc.

Have A look at this thread (DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - bluetooth phone kit (http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic61960.html?highlight=Bluetooth+retrofit&start=15)). it will give you an idea on what is required to retrofit factory Bluetooth. What stereo system do you have? Seems you need the 6 stacker CD version to get started. Wiggs is also very helpful in providing information.
