asking on behalf of a relative... he`s just bought a 2013 Yeti 1.6 Diesel Elegance.. Has a Samsung Galaxy S5 but unable to connect to Bluetooth unit.

Despite having phone in discovery mode, it goes through the motions including giving out a pairing code but then it comes up with an error every time.. I noticed when reading the destructions on how to connect  it says something like <Phone> <Set up> but this option does not seem to appear.

I wondered if it may be due to previous owners details still being stored and if it were possible to "wipe " the info and start from scratch?

 

Any help appreciated..

 

Andy

Are these the instructions you are following, from a May 2013 Bolero.

 

"""Call up the Setup phone menu by pressing the SETUP selector button and the Telephone function button.

Updating telephone book in the unit

• Tap the function button Update phonebook to update in the device all changed entries since the last connection to the phone book of the mobile phone or the SIM card. This procedure can take a few minutes.

• Confirm the following security prompt. The “old” data in the telephone book can still be selected at the unit while the data is being updated.

• In this context, note the applicable operating instructions for your vehicle.

Delete call lists

• Tap the Delete call lists function button.

• By confirming the following prompt with Delete, the numbers of all made and missed calls stored in the device are deleted.

Change pre-assigned speed dial keys

• Tap the Speed dial function button to edit the pre-assigned speed dial buttons.

• In the sub-menu, tap the speed dial button you want to change.

• Change the entry as described."""

On my 2014 Elegance, if you choose Phone on the Maxidot display, there is an option to setup new user. Or on the Bolero there is a phone button which you can also get to settings when selected.

I`ll have to double check which head unit it is and have another look at it.. will come back to you...

Ok, I can definitely confirm it`s the Bolero radio, with 6 disc autochanger etc.. no sat nav just bluetooth..

Will try to have another look at settings above tomorrow and see what transpires...

Watch the phone not the Bolero when attempting to connect...

Ok, had another look at this last night.. Its a Samsung Galaxy S5. It  goes through the pairing process , gives code to pair with the head unit, but fails to connect every time.. Have attached screens of the head unit and you can see that when in set up telephone mode, the other bits are "greyed out"? Is there a simple fix for this, or is the phone not compatible, or is it a trip to Skoda to sort?

Try from the steering wheel controls. Press the right hand button and use the scroll wheel to select telephone on the Maxidot display in the centre of the speedo / tach dials. Is there an option to setup New User?

 

If not, I suggest talking to a dealer. It may need a reset of the head unit to get rid of the current user and I don't know how to do that. Anybody?

Doesn't it appear on the maxidot to sync

All sorted now.. It was to do with the Maxidot display.. The destructions in the user guide are not particularly user friendly but now sorted.. Thanks Freedie!!
