Mate with a recent iPhone had a go today and it didn't see the car either. Perhaps the Bluetooth thingy is busted on my car?

Sounds like the phone module in the car is stuffed then.

You can replace the original module with a newer one, the last ones from the L322 Vogue had updated software in them, seem to work fine with newer phones.

Not exactly plug & play as the power connector on the modules are different, you need to change the connector, solder a couple of wires.

Meh. Soldering a couple of power wires is still plug and play in my book. Rewiring half the car and having a million software bugs to sort out is not. Thanks for that :)

Dunno if it helps, but in the new Kenworths I set my phone to "visible" and press the phone button on the radio. Within a couple of seconds they find each other, and job's done.

OK... so this fixed itself. Everything works perfectly now, and has done for a couple of weeks. Only thing I've done is hook up the Rovacom iQ when it arrived and download the CCF and clear all codes (previously had cleared codes a few times with a Nanocom). Indie reckons the BT module is part of the audio headunit on the local stuff (not a separate module like on US/UK ones). I pulled a BT module out of a UK-delivered RRS but could not find it in mine anywhere so couldn't replace it. Only thing I can think of is there was a software glitch somewhere that was reset? Modern cars, eh?
