Default Software update recall - Bluetooth

Hey folks,

Anyone experienced issues connecting Bluetooth after getting the SW recall? Had this done few days ago and it seems my phone will no longer connect.

Any advice is appreciated.

I haven’t gotten a software update so not sure what “SW recall” you are talking about.

Apparently an update was required for the console. Few recalls were performed sametime.

I would try deleting the phone from the car's memory, and start over with pairing.

^^^
You could try pairing using the NFC sensor above the left side of the infotainment screen. NFC needs to be turned on on your phone.

Just updated my SW today... I did disconnected my phone from BT before I started the update, just to be safe.

Everything works fine after the update.

Thanks for the feedback gents. I will attempt to delete and reinstall the profile on the phone etc. But haven't found the opportunity. I have reached out to my SA who advised to delete each profile off one another and reinstall. Perhaps it works, I'll find out.

The code has nothing to do with locking the phone. If you have both the car and the phone attempting to pair, the car sends a code (typically 4 to 6 digits) that you need to enter in the phone pairing screen. That's to make sure the car is pairing the phone you want to pair, and not another one that just happens to be close.
