Phone Button Mutes the Music System

Featured Replies

Hi All,

I am facing problems with my bluetooth system and I am not able to connect any phones to it. When I click on Phone button on the left side of the music system it just mutes the system and nothing else happens. I cannot even find the cars bluetooth on my phone's list.  There is no phone menu in MFD. Please help.

Given you've got one post, I assume the car is new to you?

 

If so, it probably doesn't have a bluetooth module so muting when you hit the phone button is normal.

 

You might want to add the age and spec of your car, you can also check under the front seats for a bluetooth module :)

Hey Langers2K, thanks for your reply. This car is a used car I have just bought few days back. Its a Superb mk2 2010 model (Petrol). I also checked the underneath drivers seat and I do see a box there, but seems it pretty hard to remove it.

If it's under the drivers seat, there is a good chance it's an amplifier.

 

Can you take a few pictures or does the car mention canton anywhere?

Hey, so I just managed to click some pics of the box/module underneath the seat. Please have a look and thanks for your inputs

Thats the seat control module 
If you have BT it is under the seat on the floor:cool: under black plastic cover

To steal photo from other post

what you're looking for is on the floor and by the looks of your 1st pic i cant see the mounting bracket

pic is as you look from outside the car with seat all the way back, it usually has a black plastic slip on cover

Hmm, it's kind of weird I may not have the Bluetooth module at all in my car (it being the very top end model). Is there any other place I can check or else I may have to visit Skoda service center to ask for more info

It can be built-in into your radio unit - to be sure you need full scan using VCDS, VCP, ODIS or something else.

Today, I just tried a factory reset of the audio system in my car just to check if it comes up if its inside the radio unit itself but unfortunately nothing happened. May be I will visit a service center. Disconnecting the Battery also didn't work.

@kunalvaidya - just to be sure about this - what country are you in?  If your car is left hand drive, I believe the bluetooth module is under the passenger seat....

So finally today I visited a Skoda service center for my bluetooth enquiry and they told me that this particular model (2010) does not have bluetooth and they even cannot fit a bluetooth module to the car as its not supported. I did find this a bit weird that the car will not support bluetooth if the module is connected, when the car has all the bluetooth controls in the music system as well as on the steering.

 

Any comments anyone?

Only that dealers are not a source of truth when it comes to retrofits...

 

Adding a BT module and wiring is pretty simple, there are even dedicated looms for the purpose. You'd need VCDS or similar to recode the car afterwards to let it know BT has been fitted.

my 2013 greenline has a mysterious gap where a BT module should be..

It's not that mysterious... Probably just means it wasn't spec'd or fitted when new.

What seems more likely to you:

- The car never had BT and the cutouts in the carpet have been lost, possibly from years worth of vacuuming.

- Someone removed the BT module, mounting hardware and wiring then refitted one piece of the carpet.

 

If you want BT, you should add a BT module and get the car coded.

Guys, to update on what I had previously found that I didn't had a Bluetooth module in my car. I have found a guy who is selling it seems to be a Bluetooth module but the serial number seems to be a bit different that what we discussed before. Can someone plz confirm if this will work

Someone has removed them. The cut lines are stamped, or at least they are down three of the sides. The flaps are therefore just a push fit into the holes, and presumably removed in the factory if access is needed.
