Default Bluetooth Problem

I have an 01 C5 coupe, I installed a Motorola T605 hands free blue tooth in my Corvette, The T605 works great but I come up with Tire presure codes, Not communicating, and left rear tire low. When I take the power away from the T605, the tire presure works great, anyone know how to cure this problem, or had the same problem.
Thanks,

Wow, that's a weird one. The Motorola unit is a Bluetooth 2.0 which uses freqs in the 2.4GHZ band. The TPMS are in the ~315 MHZ (UHF band)...so there should be no way they interfere. How was the unit installed (where did they tap the power, ground and speaker/radio connections--did they use a plug-and-play harness or cut into wires manually?) My only guess is that the Motorola box is wired such that it interferes via it's connection wires to the car module (BCM) or (RCDLR) which controls the TPMS. You can try checking those connections--a long shot is to unlearn and relearn your phone in case there is some 1-in-a-million RF harmonic, but I would not bet on it.
Cheers

The bluetooth was connected to the accessory power plug on the passenger floor board, the radio was not hooked up to the bluetooth, It was mounted under the consol, the blue tooth worked and would sink with phone fine, I also noticed that when I cleared the codes when pressing the reset button, I would here the bluetooth make a sound. There must be something wrong with the bluetooth.

Thanks.

Try disconnecting from the floor board power and temporarily power it from the cigarette lighter or direct from the battery and see what happens
