bluetooth

[dubdee1000]

Anyone know where the manufacturer fitted Bluetooth module is to be found in the car? I'm trying to tap into its microphone

Underneath the drivers seat in a foam housing. Slide seat all the way back to see it

Great.  Thanks for your help.  I'll slide the seat back tonight and have a hunt

[dubdee1000]

Hmm.  Went all over the seat and still couldn't find it.  Is it in the seat or under the floor carpet?  I did find the cables for the airbag and seatbelt sensor, but that was about it.

It's usually under the seat at the front. There might be a bit of carpet hiding it

They are usually hid under carpet like the Octavias.

It is not under the seat like in Octavia.

I am still searching for it...

Is it maybe behind glove compartment in front of passenger seat?

If the car came with Amundsen radio with integrated bluetooth, there is no bluetooth box installed under the seat. If the car came with Swing or lower, then there certainly is a bluetooth box under one of the front seats, usually the front right.

Car came with Swing Radio and there is nothing under any seat. :-(

Is it a 2012/13 car?  Early specs were very skimpy so it might not even have BT as standard??

My 2013 rapid has the Swing stereo.

My android phone can see a skoda bluetooth device, so, looks like there is hardware in the car transmitting a bluetooth signal....but when I try to pair my phone to it, it just gives an error.

I've not found any options on the stereo to pair or anything like that.

Does your car have a multifunctional display and steering wheel? The pairing options are accessed through it.

It just has the normal display, the one with MPG, Range, Distance, and the steering wheel stick for moving up and down through those options, with the button underneath the stick for select/reset.

I didn't notice anything popping up on that display, but I was looking at the stereo - are you saying that display pops up with pairing information?

In cars with Maxidot there is a special Phone menu from which you can pair your phone. When there's no Maxidot, you normally pair your phone within 3 minutes from turning on the ignition. The Swing has no options for controlling calls though, and I'm not sure how you will answer your calls if there's no red/green telephone buttons on your steering wheel. In any case, try pairing with 1234 or 0000 as pairing code.

Car is 2015.

Phone is connected normally, in VCDS I see BT module.

But, it is not in the mentioned place, under the seat.

It is located somewhere else.

vexovex: can you give us part number for this bt module?

[vexovex]

I did a little researching...

Octavia has foam box, or mount with cover under pax seat.

In Rapid BT should be under the carpet floor of the pax seat, so seat needs to be pulled out in order to get to it.

BT number is 7P6 035 730 N.
