Bluetooth not connecting? - READ THIS

The Lowdown

So it now turns out that disconnecting the battery caused a fault in the engine, it basically shut down & fried the service sensor & eco chip ( a word of warning to those who may decide to disconnect the battery to reset ICE systems themselves). Citroen have now replaced the chips/sensors and the car is working ok. Still no idea what was causing the Bluetooth malfunction....... I have now realised it must be the phone causing the problem! i contacted Sony again and they could only suggest re-installing the phone software, so i backup all my stuff and wipe it! After re-installing Hurrah! it works again! So even though my phone had not received any updates something inside was screwing the Citroen Bluetooth system up. I suggest if anybody has a similar problem they try with their phone software first.....

Oh and guess what... ive just found out my wifes Sony X10 mini pro has started with the same problem...... At least i know what to do.

Still having problems with my car as the new head unit still hasnt arrived! Sigh! Actually have been on holiday driving a Citroen Berlingo which pairs to my phone every time and streams music perfectly so at least I know it's my car and not my phone!

I'm having a nightmare with the bluetooth in mine. It used to pair to my phone but now, it wont even detect it. Searching on my phone or on the DS3 headset neither find any bluetooth devices.

Have you tried any other devices with both your phone and DS3?

Probelm with phone's is that the OS and drivers can degrade and corrupt. Only sure fire why of knowing whats at fault is to reflash your phone and try it. Bluetooth is actually built into a chip so the hardware seldom goes wrong, it's just the drivers that control it that do.

Like biggy said try another bluetooth device- anything at all, a friends phone, anything. If it finds it then your phone is at fault and needs a reflash, if it doesn't then 95% probability your car's software might have gone a bit funny or there's a lose connection to bluetooth chip

You don't need to pull the battery if you can't be bothered, you can also pull the grey 'Shunt' fuse inside the glovebox as this will reset the car into parc mode then back into customer mode, just remember which side you pulled it out of.

This is excellent advice, I upgraded to a Sony Xperia Z1 yesterday and the car wouldn't pair, pulled the grey fuse, put it back and when pairing the car asked me to put in a code and paired straight off.

Hi just got my DS3 (2013 model) and I am having trouble with my bluetooth. I can connect to play music, however I can not here any audio when making or receiving a call? I am using an iPhone 6.... I have deleted the bluetooth connection and refound the phone many times but no luck.

Has anybody experienced the same thing or got any tips?

Thank you.

^ I take it you have tried adjusting the in call volume with no success?

Thank you.

Could you try it with a different phone to test?

This should give you an indication whether the fault is with the phone or the car.

There does seem to be some real issues with Apples interpretation of Bluetooth vs Android/Other phones, when it comes to Citroen Radio/Bluetooth modules.

I'm surprised no one has put the iPhone into the Microwave yet to see if that fixes it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...rge-phone.html

Just moved from Galaxy to iphone and no problems.

Never had any issues with the iPhone in my DS3 or the 208 GTi.
