Hi all.
I have now got a Nokia 6230i and put it into it's cradle and have
now managed to pair the phone with my car but for some reason it wont
connect.
Do you think there is a problem with the bluetooth module as nothing
i do seems to work?
sometimes it's easy to check the box that says enable
bluetooth and sometimes it just won't check which is why i think there is a
possible module problem.......thoughts please people......thanks in
advance!!!!!!

    Check settings in the Head-Unit and clear any old BT connections first before condemning the BT Module ;)
