I've read a little about this but don't understand what is meant by the bluetooth fuse, pretty certain it doesn't have its own!

I wired the dension in place of the changer, just threw it into the infrared loop and soldered the power to the changer power cables... that's it.

Just spoken to my auto leccy who thinks that when i plugged the Dension in, its some how messed the coding up - it's going in on Friday so hopefully i'll be able to shed a little light on this maybe

This is as far as I go with my Dension as well. I can make calls with my phone on bluetooth, but I need to be on the CDC interface and i must start the call on my phone handset.

I can't wait to get this figured out to fully integrate the Bluetooth. I know it is possible...

Can you tell us all what heading the fuse is under? I had a look at the card describing all the fuses and cold not find one for Bluetooth?

I removed the 3 fuses under telephone, figured it was worth a try, all fuses were fine
I then unplugged the bluetooth module , my radio works fine now, no cutting in and out. My conclusion is that my bluetooth module is dead ! It looks straight forward enough to change but does the new one have to be coded to the car or is it just a straight replacement ?
Anyone have any idea ?
Cheers,
Lee
