Hi,
I have a problem with a 'looped' connection between with the Nokia hands-free kit in my '02 Passat TDi and the gamma radio which had been working fine till the other night.
Got into the car last night andmy mobile already had the bluetooth activated. Normally, when I turn on the ignition, it would automatically pair with the hands-free kit. This time however, the display on the radio kept indicating 'TP Phone'. After a few seconds, this would usually disappear and the radio/cd whatever would continue to play. Unfortunately, it seems to have got locked into a loop, whereby it is constantly trying to pair. As a result, the radio does not work at all ie no sound plays from whichever source is selected, it always shows the 'TP Phone' message.
I've tired all the obvious things I can think of, such as switching the radio off, 'un-pairing from all devices', switching off the phone's bluetooth etc etc.
The car was bought with the kit already installed, and I don't have the code for the radio, although I could get this form a dealer if required.
Not that I know how just yet, but I'm wondering if I should disconnect the radio (disconnect the battery I assume?) and see if that resets the radio/hands-free kit.
Any suggestions out there please?
Cheers
Fraser
PS the only thing I did which was unusual this time was instead of double-pressing the open/alarm deactivate button on the fob, (when I was trying to get into the car) I accidentally pressed the 'lock' one, when the car was already locked. Could this have triggered some sort of malfunction?:(
