Hey everybody,

my Bluetooth suddenly stopped working. I have no idea why this happened. I deleted the profile on the phone and in BMW idrive and the phone cannot see the car at all. I tried with a few other phones and the same thing happens. I didn't change or do anything to the car. Had this ever happened to their car?

Sounds like it's time for a new car.

first things first, try the three finger salute on the CCC/M-ASK. If that doesn't work, remove power to the TCU (left rear of the trunk under the mouse fur) and reapply (disconnect the large connector on the bottom of it.) Then, check the antenna connections on the top of the TCU. If that doesn't do it, your TCU might have gone belly-up.

Maybe the BT module is defective.

Oddly enough without doing anything it worked after trying for 15 minutes. I guess the module just decided to work suddenly before i was about to kick it. So wierd.

Cool. Otherwise, you might ask for the old TCU back.
