Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

Mobile phone prep adds HFP bluetooth hands free or alternatively if you specify the full phone module you get SIM access profile as well, with the phone using the cars own mobile antennae (and if you prefer you can plug a SIM into the console and use the car as a phone rather than bluetooth from your mobile).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm trying to connect my iPhone 5s to my R. The car is ex UK and has PCM. However, I can't find the blutetooth option under the DISC/AUX menu. Is Bluetooth another option on top of PCM? BTW I also get PHONE function not available Secondly, I see there is an iPod connector supplied with the car. I don't have it. Is this a £££ options from the OPC or a generic cable? Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

Extra options over and above PCM. Mobile phone prep adds HFP bluetooth hands free or alternatively if you specify the full phone module you get SIM access profile as well, with the phone using the cars own mobile antennae (and if you prefer you can plug a SIM into the console and use the car as a phone rather than bluetooth from your mobile). If you want iPod integration that is a different option (universal audio interface).

POST 3Original post

Also you'll only get the bluetooth to work with the usual phone functions — it can't do music streaming.
