my ds3 is home

[kbcalypso]

friday evening i collected my new ds, this is to replace a crap fiat 500s, 63 reg 345 miles on clock, that i only had for twenty days i think the s stands for sh**e, i took it back to the dealers, it didn't like standing starts on hills it prefered to roll backwards, the dealership loaned me a ds3 while the sh**e was in being looked at, and we prefered the ds, wasn't even thinking of getting one, now got a brand new ds3 d style, already started putting bits in it, ie bought a small ashtray from halfords for the loose change fits nicely in the front, lined all the pockets with the plastice anti-slip stuff, and stuck some door edge protectors on ( stops me banging door on concrete fence.) and just been and put 90 miles on clock, got a reading of 40mpg, being careful with the revs at the moment. on arrival at home wife said the mood light on passenger side wasn't lit up so on inspection i removed the panel and noticed a bulb in the fitment but the cable wasn't connected. all's now working ok. its white with a black roof and black wheels.

Hi KB, when it prompts you for a code you choose your own ie 0000 as long as you use the same code when your phone prompts you for one as well. Have fun and enjoy.

Very nice KB. Cant help you on the phone front- Bluetooth stuff goes over my head
Did you keep the Trade Plate?

[kbcalypso]

ha no i didn't. i have a plate on a retension cert, so 12 months done i will tranfer it, just letting the neighbours know its a 63 reg at the moment, i have tried keying in 0000 on the car but it don't seem to pair, i presume if its getting this far then bluetooth must be fitted.

Is your phone asking for a code as well ? Make sure the phone is discoverable when you try to pair them

[kbcalypso]

i went onto the oxbridge website and found the code 1234, so had another go this morning after a few attempts, imputing the numbers i was about to give up when my phone asked me for the code so i imputed 1234 and the phone said number not recognised for pairing. its a sony experia. will try when i have more time.

From a previous post I've done, how to connect an iPhone:

- Enable visibility on iPhone: Settings > General > Bluetooth.
- In car: Turn on ignition > Menu button > Bluetooth > Bluetooth Config > Search > Select your phone > Enter 0000
- On iPhone: It should pop up saying car is trying to connect and to enter PIN. Enter 0000 then pair.
- Should say pairing successful on car and phone.

Note: code can be anything but 0000 is the quickest and easiest to enter on both.

I don't have a Sony Experia to test but I imagine if you follow the same steps (obviously the location of Bluetooth settings for the Experia will be different), then it should work.

Hope this helps.
